Shows a striking trio of critically acclaimed graphic novels and nonfiction books that challenge, reflect, and document war, trauma, and memory through different lenses.

1. Maus by Art Spiegelman

Arguably the most famous graphic novel of all time, Maus recounts the Holocaust through the lens of Spiegelman’s father’s survival story. Jews are portrayed as mice, Nazis as cats, and Poles as pigs. The book is both an autobiographical account and a harrowing post-war reflection, exploring inherited trauma, memory, and identity. It remains the only graphic novel to have won a Pulitzer Prize.


2. Palestine by Joe Sacco

In Palestine, Joe Sacco documents his time in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the early 1990s. With immersive, journalistic precision, Sacco gives voice to Palestinians living under occupation, blending the visual storytelling of comics with the rigor of investigative journalism. The book is raw, human, and deeply empathetic.


3. War on Gaza by Joe Sacco

A spiritual and thematic sequel to Palestine, this newer release by Sacco continues his commitment to documenting the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Focusing more closely on the siege and bombardment of Gaza, it explores civilian suffering, the asymmetry of modern warfare, and the psychology of life under constant threat. It’s a visual indictment and an urgent call to reckon with humanitarian realities.

Yet another batch of candid snaps captured during Day 3 of Surva Fest 2025. None of them are posed or set up, all the impressions were captured during the procession and performance of the groups on the event square.

Surva is listed among the Oral and Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO. "It is a ritual symbolizing the cleansing power of the new beginning with wishes for health and a bountiful harvest. Bulgarian masquerade rituals go back thousands of years to the earliest pagan times. Masquerade games were practiced as the new year took over from the old and during nature’s spring awakening. The message they conveyed was of banishing the powers of evil with wishes for health and fertility during what are known as the “dirty days” of the year." (Source: Ilka Dimitrova, www.bnr.bg)
I´ve captured an immense amount of candids, about 10k, hence it is very hard to select the best snaps.

Аppreciate all the likes and comments, many more expressive candid impressions coming up, still from Day 2 and definitely a lot from Day 3.
