En el corazón del 7 de octubre

Testimonial comics exhibition at the Centro Sefarad-Israel in Madrid, with illustrations and graphic stories by Israeli authors reconstructing twelve real stories lived in southern Israel.

Comics as a record of memory is the focus of this proposal from the Centro Sefarad-Israel, which stems from a collaborative literary project directed by Ouri Fink. The works, signed by Israeli illustrators, are sequential pages that reconstruct twelve real experiences lived in southern Israel on that day.

Each scene is resolved with line and visual devices that convey direct emotions. The stories revolve around families, healthcare workers, young people and older people who faced the violence with fortitude and solidarity. The exhibition is conceived as a document, a tribute and a dialogue, and the route through the galleries invites reflection on empathy and human dignity in extreme situations.
