La artista visual argentina Josefina Guarracino, más conocida por su alias Pepita Sandwich, pasó su infancia leyendo Mafalda y dibujando sus propios personajes como una forma de escapar de la vida cotidiana, sin imaginarse nunca que podría convertirse en una carrera. Un punto de inflexión llegó cuando ganó una beca para estudiar fotografía en Milán, donde descubrió su pasión por la ilustración. Ahora, autora publicada con un MFA en Cómics del Center for Cartoon Studies en Vermont y colaboradora frecuente de publicaciones prestigiosas como The Washington Post y The New Yorker, Guarracino está radicada en Nueva York, lanzando su tercer título, "El Arte de Llorar," donde explora la ciencia detrás de nuestras lágrimas.Con su estilo de dibujo único y voz ingeniosa, representa a una nueva generación, utilizando sus habilidades narrativas para explorar temas universales como la salud mental, la nostalgia, la diversidad y el feminismo. En este episodio, hablamos sobre su amor por los sándwiches, el proceso de encontrar su pasión y por qué ya no se avergüenza de llorar en público (y por qué nosotros tampoco deberíamos hacerlo).-------Pepita Sandwich: "It's what's beautiful about art, being able to evoke an emotion"Argentinian visual artist Josefina Guarracino, better known by her alias Pepita Sandwich, spent her childhood reading Mafalda and drawing her own characters as an escape from everyday life, never imagining it could become a career.
