Studio Lenca's work is rooted in reclaiming space and visibility. Libertad means freedom—a word that feels increasingly urgent in today's global climate. This print draws on the tradition of Historiante dancers, from the artist's birthplace of El Salvador, who he sees as cultural archivists—embodying resistance, memory, and survival. Their presence is a powerful act of remembrance.
By writing “Libertad” directly onto the figure, he affirms both a personal and collective right to move, to exist, and to be seen. This piece is part of a wider visual language that uses joy as resistance and colour as protest—asserting identity in bold, unapologetic ways.
Studio Lenca (b.1986 La Paz, El Salvador) is based at TKE Studios, Margate, UK. Studio Lenca is the working name of artist Jose Campos – ‘Studio’ referring to a space for experimentation and making; ‘Lenca’ referring to the Mesoamerican indigenous people of southwestern Honduras and eastern El Salvador. Studio Lenca was born in La Paz, El Salvador. He works with performance, video, painting and sculpture.
Studio Lenca received an MA from Goldsmiths University of London and his work is included in the permanent collection of the Leslie Lohman Museum, Pérez Art Museum Miami, Parrish Art Museum in New York and the Rubell Family Collection. Recent solo exhibitions include the Carl Freedman Gallery, Margate, UK, Kates-Ferri Projects, New York, Parrish Art Museum, New York, and Tang Contemporary in Bangkok.
