A poc a poc
A poc a poc is a collection of short stories, aphorisms, and photographs recounting the emotional journey of a young woman who emigrated from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Valencia, Spain. The pieces of work gathered in this book were written and captured little by little (a poc a poc), in her home and adopted cities. While this collection does not expressly narrate the emigrant experience, it emotionally and poetically shows the joys and the sorrows, the ambition and nostalgia of starting a new chapter in life, and the uprooting of leaving one’s homeland.
Mora Ojea
Mora Ojea is an Argentinian multi-disciplinary artist who settled in Valencia, Spain, at the end of 2020. In 2022, she published her first collection of short stories and photography, A poc a poc with éditions pépé. A few months later, she launched a closed-door concept restaurant called Puerta 8 in Valencia. It grew as she travelled around Spain, Argentina, and elsewhere. From 2023, she taught herself how to mix and started to perform as a DJ in private, then public, events, both in her hometown and in her adopted city.
