Joe SaccoTemps de Guerres

Drawings and comics by Joe Sacco on the First World War and the war in Gaza, shown together for the first time.

The show pairs Sacco’s panoramic drawings of trench warfare from The Great War with recent pages from his reporting on the war in Gaza, setting the two conflicts side by side.

An essay written for the exhibition by the cartoonist Emmanuel Guibert reflects on bombardment as inherited family memory, recalling Sacco’s mother sheltering in Malta during the Second World War, and on Sacco’s persistence in questioning the causes and costs of violence between people.
