Plenty of Homes

By Greta• June 23, 2024

Some days ago I saw the profile of my English teacher, Prof. Ana Bessa Carvalho, who I had the pleasure to have as a professor and friend. She posted a frame of a book in which this sentence was written. Finding a house in this precarious word that leaves us homeless if we are not as productive as they want us to be is very difficult, and finding a home is difficult too. But maybe it is easier, because we can find at home in the company of another person and in the company of ourselves

This sentence of Bryan Washington, present in the drawing, reflects on this, and on how we can be our own homes, having a chimney that smokes and encounter chimneys of other people in life. We will all change, and with us also our idea of home – what is important is to leave the door open.

I like to draw and tell stories. I love stories which do not fit in the narration of the world today, because - as bell hooks says - the margins are a space of resistance and I want to represent them.
