Exhibition by the artist duo Enzo Camacho and Ami Lien presenting cultural work from the Philippines' national democratic mass movement, including the film 'Langit Lupa'.
Enzo Camacho and Ami Lien open their exhibition at Nottingham Contemporary on 6 February 2027, and it runs through to 2 May. It's a long stretch, so there's plenty of time to get to it.
Camacho and Lien are an artist duo—he was born in the Philippines in 1985, she in the USA in 1987—and they've put this together with Arianna Mercado, Yuji de Torres and Dominic Zinampan, all from the Philippines. The exhibition brings together cultural work from the country's national democratic mass movement, an anti-imperial and anti-feudal social movement built on a coalition of workers' unions, peasant associations and many other sectors. It's a look at the art coming out of that movement rather than a show about the artists themselves.
Alongside the duo's own work, you'll find pieces by SAKA (Sama-samang Artista Para sa Kilusang Agraryo), Tambisan sa Sinig, RJ Ledesma and Renz Lee. One of the main things to see is the artists' film Langit Lupa (Heaven Earth), which focuses on Negros and the 1985 Escalante Massacre under Ferdinand Marcos. Between the film and the work from the other artists, the exhibition pulls from a broad range of voices within the movement.
