VICTORIA SANTA CRUZ FAMILY ARCHIVE, PERU<\/div>\n

Victoria Santa Cruz Gamarra (1922\u20132014) is clearly the most influential representative of Afro-Peruvian culture, though her legacy is not well known and has yet to be properly examined. She made outstanding contributions to the arts as a composer, anthologist, researcher, designer, and choreographer. Her earnestness, attention to detail, and skill were aspects that pervaded every stage of her career.<\/p>\n

Her artistic work began with Cumanana, a theater and dance company that she joined in 1959 and left in 1962, when in November of that year she traveled to France to study theater on a French government grant. At the end of 1966, she returned to her native Peru after deciding to form her own company, which she called Teatro y Danzas Negras del Per\u00fa (Black Theater and Dance of Peru). The troupe performed their first show in 1967. In 1973, she became the director of the Conjunto Nacional de Folclore (National Folklore Group) and in 1982 she traveled to Pennsylvania to teach at Carnegie Mellon University. In 1999 she returned to Peru and settled there permanently.<\/p>\n
