For Epigrama, the camera and design have never been neutral tools. From our very beginnings, we understood that creating content is, above all, an act of human and political responsibility: a commitment to building safe spaces where the body, identity, and gender can be explored in absolute freedom and without judgment.
The Origin: Light and the Memory of Bodies
Nuestra historia no empezó con grandes marcas, sino en la intimidad de las sesiones de retratos con amigxs. En esos primeros días, nuestro estudio se convirtió en un laboratorio de confianza. Experimentábamos con la luz no solo como un recurso técnico, sino como un elemento para abrazar y dignificar la diversidad de los cuerpos y las búsquedas identitarias de quienes nos rodeaban. Esas sesiones fundacionales nos enseñaron que documentar la vulnerabilidad requiere un pacto de respeto absoluto.
Amplifying the Drag Universe: Oh My Drag! & Mis Amigas Drag
This same horizontal philosophy led us to connect with the queer and artistic ecosystem around us. Through strategic alliances with the event organizers Oh My Drag! and the Mis Amigas Drag collective, we put our technical and narrative infrastructure at the service of drag culture. Oh My Drag! y el colectivo Mis Amigas Drag, pusimos nuestra infraestructura técnica y narrativa al servicio de la cultura queer.
Rather than just recording events or designing visual assets, we focused on:
Dignifying Performance Art: Treating drag and transformation with the same visual rigor, art direction, and cinematic sophistication as any high-level institutional production.
Co-creating Dissident Narratives: Working hand-in-hand with the artists to ensure their aesthetics, political messages, and gender expressions were communicated honestly, powerfully, and without caricature.
Design as a Refuge
In a world that constantly tries to regulate how we should look or who we should be, at Epigrama Studios we choose to keep our doors open to defiance. We believe in design as a space of refuge, in audiovisual production as an exercise in living memory, and in aesthetics as a vehicle for all identities to recognize, celebrate, and narrate themselves in their own voices.
Today, after navigating complex territories, formatting global public policies, and working alongside major international institutions, we look back at those first experimental lights in the studio, at the faces of our friends, and at the boldness of the collectives who believed in us from day one. Epigrama’s roots do not lie in servers or hard drives; they live in the invisible pact of looking into someone’s eyes, turning on the camera, and assuring them that, within this space, their truth is safe. Remembering where we come from is our way of guaranteeing that, no matter the scale of the project, design in our studio will always remain an act of profound love, refuge, and resistance.
