Project
I will be working on the project titled Beba, together with Adriana Fuertes. BEBA (11) just wants to be a "normal" little girl. In the Igualada of 1996, being "normal" was synonymous with being white, having straight hair and having a mother who would stay home and prepare her bag for extracurricular activities. Beba is angry at her own existence and doesn't understand why. This is a personal and human story that aims to offer a point of reference to all women of African descent who live in Catalonia.
