NIÑO DIVINO presents the vibrant “Golden Yellow flesh” of the Caribbean called TROSHI MANGONA, artists and creatives who keep the cultural conversation alive. Troshi Mangona is a multidisciplinary event where audiences will witness an inspiring fusion of music, performance, fashion, art, and photography, brought together in three immersive spaces. TROSHI MANGONA is about sharing light—allowing ideas, traditions, and creativity to flow across generations and borders. This event serves as a bridge, connecting Caribbean talent with artists from the Netherlands who explore Caribbean identity in their work. For NIÑO DIVINO, mangoes symbolize brotherhood. In Indigenous and folklore traditions, they are seen as a fruit that balances energy and enhances vitality, often used in purification and healing ceremonies. In the Caribbean, nearly every home has a mango tree, a constant presence, yet each mango is unique in appearance, taste, and texture. A mango is more than just a fruit; it is a multilayered symbol of identity, resilience, and connection. Mango trees thrive in tropical and subtropical climates, just as Caribbean artists carry the warmth of their roots wherever they go. TROSHI MANGONA is an open invitation to all Caribbean artists with their own mango-filled memories, a tribute to the daily experiences of the Caribbean diasporic community under the sublime Mango tree.
