Who gets to tell our stories – and how do those stories change as we move across places, cultures and generations?
Presented by CASA and Not The Owners
The evening begins with a screening of Studio Lenca’sMovimiento, a film tracing the histories and experiences of Latinx communities in London through questions of recognition, representation and belonging.
Moving across generations and perspectives, Movimiento asks what it means to build a life between cultures. Who gets seen? Who remains at the margins? And how do ideas of identity and belonging shift for those who have grown up across different places, histories and ways of being?
From the screen, these questions move into the room. Art writer Audrey Markel leads a live conversation bringing together different voices to talk about the stories we inherit, the ones we tell about ourselves, and what happens when our experiences refuse to fit neatly into the categories available to us.
The conversation grows out of On Record: When We Move Sideways, the editorial series developed by CASA and Not The Owners alongside Lines of Flight. After a year of writing, exhibitions, performance and exchange, this final gathering is a chance to meet around some of the questions that have stayed with us, to see where they might take us next.
Part of Lines of Flight
This screening and conversation forms part of Lines of Flight’s Closing Day at Brixton House, bringing together workshops, performance, conversation and celebration to mark the end of CASA’s year-long multi-arts programme curated by Gabriela Román González at Brixton House.

About the artists, speakers and partners
-
Studio Lenca is the working name of artist Jose Campos – ‘Studio’ referring to a space for experimentation and constantly shifting place; ‘Lenca’ referring to the name of the artist’s ancestors from El Salvador.
Jose Campos was born in La Paz, El Salvador and like many had to flee the country during its violent civil war during the late 1980s. He travelled to the US by land, illegally with his mother and grew up in the gaze of a strictly conservative administration – an ‘illegal alien’. Studio Lenca is focused on ideas surrounding difference, knowledge and visibility. He works with performance, video, painting and sculpture.
