A virtual illustrated exhibit and webinar in memory of the children lost in Gaza and Israel.

During the military operation Guardian of the Walls/The War on Jerusalem, a group of Israeli illustrators joined together to create illustrations commemorating the children of Gaza and Israel who lost their lives. These illustrations express solidarity and call for compassion and change. The exhibition is made up of 68 individual illustrations in memory of the 68 children who were killed during the war – in memory of each children’s life, dreams and unique personality. Some illustrators chose to create a portrait of the child while others react to the status or depict hopes and dreams.

In conversation with the illustrators as well as bereaved mothers who have lost their children to the conflict.
