Far Away From Far Away is an interactive mobile experience based on the story of Zita Cobb, the visionary behind the innovative economic, social and artistic transformation of Fogo Island. Her recollections of growing up on the remote island with her father during the 1960s and ’70s offer a contemporary interpretation of time and place while painting a powerful picture of rural life in that era.
