Description: "The Other Side of Glass" is the first graphic novel by the artist, who studied art at the Catholic University of Chile, and has a master's degree in contemporary art at Edinburgh College, Scotland. In fact, the novel documents, in an autofictional way, this journey that Antonia goes through, from her eventful departure from Santiago de Chile, to her acclimatization in a country that is foreign to her and that requires her adaptation to inhabit it harmoniously. The volume has a prologue by the filmmaker Sebastián Lelio, who highlights the talent of Bañados: she creates the face of her own character... with very few gestures and her synthesis is exciting. She narrates with few gestures and manages to make us enter that kind of sensitive and funny and melancholic aquarium that is her book.
