Intersticios

A fragment of a graphic novel developed during a residency at the Maison des Auteurs.

I began Intersticios during my residency at the Maison des Auteurs in Angoulême in 2018. It follows a young woman travelling to another country, between the memory of home and an uncertain destination. Marc Augé’s idea of the non-place informed the story’s spaces of anonymity and transit. A fragment was published by Fiesta del Libro y la Cultura in Medellín in 2019.
