C3 - Centrum für Internationale Entwicklung, Audre Lorde Studio Sensengasse 3, Wien, AustriaBook presentation. The graphic novel takes place in the Northeast of Colombia, bordering Venezuela. Particularly, the story evolves in the region of Catatumbo, where there is a reincorporation zone in which women ex-combatants have been transiting from the armed group to civilian society. It tells the story of women fighters who, in one way or another, became involved in left-wing militancy, clandestine or armed, with the conviction of building a more just future for Colombia. It is particularly based on the testimonies of the farianas – or the women ex-guerrilleras from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People’s Army (Farc-ep).
