A review by taketwolu
Mothballs by Sole Otero

A family saga about a teenager (Buenos Aires, 2001) uncovering her grandma’s past and truth about her family history (Italy 20 C, Argentina 21 C) following her grandma’s passing. We explore misogyny, s3xual vi0lence, generational trauma, h0mophobia, alc0holism, fleeing a country, and other family tragedies. The artwork is colorful and draws parallels between the granddaughter and grandmother as it captures the complexities of family dynamics and history.
