Lecture summary
Bentsi Barofman, an Israeli graffiti artist and wall painter, will share the story of his artistic journey—from a challenging childhood marked by attention‑deficit and concentration difficulties, hearing “no” in various educational settings, to a turning point where he began to realize his vision despite obstacles in Israel and abroad. He will discuss his most significant project created during the “Iron Swords” war.
A day before 7 Oct, Bentsi painted live at the Bar’im Festival, but returned a few hours before the massacre, narrowly escaping the tragedy. In the days that followed he painted portraits of those who lost their lives on 7 Oct—soldiers and hostages—to support their families, and created wall murals in Israel and Europe to raise awareness for the hostages.
During the meeting he will recount his artistic and emotional journey through moving videos and photographs.
