The Cartoonist Who Made the Pope Pay Attention: Art, Tragedy, and Going Viral
What happens when your entire artistic identity gets obliterated in a single day? Zeev Engelmayer built his career on outrageous, politically incorrect satire. Then, on October 7, everything changed.
In the aftermath of tragedy, Zeev channeled his shock into raw, colorful "postcards" that captured a nation's trauma. What started as a personal catharsis became a global phenomenon – his viral campaign crossed continents and somehow landed on the Pope's desk at the Vatican.
How does an artist known for pushing every boundary suddenly become a voice of healing? What transforms shock art into sacred remembrance? And why is the world paying attention to postcards from the edge of despair?
Join us as we explore the thin line between provocation and prayer, and discover why sometimes the most powerful healing comes from the most unexpected places.
Warning: This conversation will challenge everything you think you know about art, trauma, and going viral for all the right reasons.
