Fingir and Dupont Underground are excited to present FINGIR: Somewhere Between.

Fingir is a space for us to be exactly who we are.

Ever had that feeling of existing somewhere between? We invite you to experience something multidimensional, interactive, and shared.

What is Fingir?

“Dar a entender algo que no es cierto.” “To pretend or imply something that is not true.”

Fingir is a project showcasing artists from the Central American diaspora, whose mission is to highlight issues and topics traditionally considered culturally taboo, and strengthen the intergenerational ties between families and their roots.

The term “fingir” refers to the societal pressures of conforming to an absolute truth, rather than embracing a dichotomy in which both truths coexist simultaneously. Fingir is a space for us to be exactly who we are, dissolving the misconception of a homogenous, singular identity, and reclaiming the right to categorize ourselves the way we choose.

ABOUT THIS EVENT:

Somewhere Between is an intergenerational conversation surrounding where we find ourselves on this journey between old country and new. Where do you find yourself and what feels true to you? We invite you to experience something multidimensional, interactive, and shared.

“No olvides las manos que nos dieron de comer." “Don’t forget the hands that fed us."

At Dupont Underground we are doing our best to make sure our space is as safe as possible! We follow DC's mask mandate and the CDC guidelines; following the mask mandate all of our staff and guests are asked to wear masks inside Dupont Underground. We will adapt accordingly if the guidelines and/or restrictions are changed.
