Querida Nena

In Querida Nena the postcards that a Catalan soldier sent from the Rif front to his daughter in Barcelona in 1920´s are combined in a mosaic of 20 drawings. The loving messages of the father-soldier intersect with the reality of the Spanish occupation of Morocco, while the orientalist stereotypes, reproduced in the postcards, serve to “educate” Nena among other more obvious purposes.
