Mangos With Chili is a Bay Area based arts organization committed to
showcasing high quality work of life saving importance by queer and trans
artists of color to audiences in the Bay Area and beyond. Founded in 2006 by
Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha and Ms Cherry Galette, Mangos with
Chilifeatures an annual touring cabaret of queer
and trans people of color performance artists, offering unforgettable
performance in celebration of our lives, stories, survival, and the legacies
we are creating for future generations of queer and trans people of color.

For over 3 years, Mangos With Chili has performed to sold out houses across
North America, wowing audiences in world class theaters, underground
performance spaces, bars, and campus halls, with their high intensity,
breathtaking performance, politics, and storytelling craft, reflecting the
lives and stories of queer and trans people of color, while making art that
speaks out in resistance to the daily struggles around silence, isolation,
homophobia, and violence that QTPOC face.

Our 2009 Splendor and Grit Tour takes 7 delicious queer and trans of color
performers through the South- from the Esperanza Center for Peace
andJustice in San Antonio to New Orleans' post Katrina brilliance,
from the
heart of ATL QTPOC organizing to Durham's pine trees and UBUNTU heart,
finishing off in Baltimore and DC! We promise you a one of a kind show of
queer and trans of color stories of resistance, resilience, struggle, love,
heat and heart.
