About the Edition
Studio Lenca, along with six other international artists, were asked to create a print for Choose Love. A third of the profits from the sale of each print will be benefit Choose Love – providing vital support to refugees and displaced people worldwide.
Studio Lenca’s limited edition print, is titled Hermanos Lejanos (2024), in English – far away brother, which is how Salvadorans refer to their diasporic communities. The figures are covered in platanos, or plantains because when the artist misses home, food helps him to reconnect. The figures wear suits covered in plantains, which act as a declaration of where they’re from and who they are. The two figures are together and apart at the same time, a feeling Hermanos Lejanos know so well. These figures always wear large hats and brightly coloured clothing, refusing to be ignored, invisible or undocumented.
