New Key Art for Slamdance ‘26!
We’re excited to share our new Slamdance ‘26 key art by Edel Rodriguez! In continuing our collaboration with Edel, our direction focused on championing the spirit of the artist.
“At a time when dignity, creativity and the arts are under threat, I wanted to create a poster of hope. An image about overcoming and proudly rising above the challenges we must confront every day to live out our dreams as artists.”
Edel Rodriguez was born in Havana, Cuba in 1971. He was raised in El Gabriel, a small farm town surrounded by fields of tobacco and sugar cane. In 1980 Rodriguez and his family boarded a boat and left for America during the Mariel boatlift. They settled in Miami where Rodriguez was introduced to and influenced by American pop culture for the first time. Edel’s work has been exhibited in many prominent international shows. Recent work includes creating the covers of Time and The New Yorker.
