Character and Caricature

As curator of this exhibition examining Israeli political caricature, I explored how these satirical artworks serve dual roles: as vehicles for criticism and as powerful repositories of collective memory. The research process spanned historical, archival, social, and artistic investigation, revealing how caricatures transcend their immediate satirical purpose to become cultural artifacts.

The exhibition demonstrated how political cartoons, beyond their critical commentary, crystallize moments of national consciousness. Through careful curation and research, I highlighted how these works capture fundamental truths about Israeli society through wit and sharp humor, while simultaneously preserving shared nostalgia and historical memory.
