Carlos Henríquez Consalvi, also known as "Santiago," is the founder and director of El Museo de la Palabra y la Imagen (MUPI) in San Salvador and one of the founders of Radio Venceremos, the rebel radio station formed by the Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN) during the first guerrilla offensive of the civil war.
