Hip Hop Artist Andrew Fig Figueroa Mixed Race Mix Tape

Andrew Fig Figueroa is an artist and performer. He is an up and coming Hip Hop artist, theatre maker and arts educator. He is the son of a Mexican father and British mother. Andrew, a graduate of Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, created for his thesis project a work he wrote, produced and performed, a Hip-Hop theatre piece entitled, “Mixed-Race Mixtape.” The show explores the formation of Latin identity in the United States. The perspective is autobiographical and showcases Fig’s own ongoing struggle with developing a cohesive identity in the midst of a lifetime of funny, confusing and sometimes frightening interactions growing up “ambiguously brown” in America.
