Project attributes

Four years ago, the Portuguese architect and artist Júlia Barata landed in Argentina and found in the autobiographical comic a way to make personal catharsis before a whirlwind of events that went through his life. A busy migration to Buenos Aires from Porto, a surprise pregnancy right in the middle, and all the ins and outs that follow the moves and families. The book is presented as a compilation of all these small fragments drawn and blotted with haste, which later became a story that thematizes immigration, motherhood, sense of belonging and blood and acquired families. Moments of his life that speak without any pastoral imposture or costumbrista about different types of affective relationships, with great sense of humor and a sweeping graphic record.
