Scrolling through Palestine’s wounds is a silent looping animation I originally created for Kinetic LAD, an exhibition held during the Lugano Animation Days in November 2024.
With Michael Rosen’s kind permission, I revisited the animation and created this version, combining image, sound design, and his voice. His poem Don’t Mention the Children, written and performed in 2014, responds to the banning of a radio ad by the Israeli Broadcasting Authority. The ad, created by the human rights group B’Tselem, listed the names of children killed during airstrikes on Gaza.
That attempt to silence grief and erase the memory of the dead struck me deeply. A decade later, as the genocide in Gaza continues to unfold, his words remain tragically relevant.
