Bodyholic with Di

Meet Hagar Wertheim, an acclaimed Israeli artist, illustrator, and animator, who has found an extraordinary way to voice her experiences and perspective amidst the ongoing conflict in Israel. This episode is a unique blend of artistry, conflict, and resilience, all interwoven through the lens of Wertheim's life and work.
Our conversation starts with Hagar sharing her journey as a female artist during these turbulent times, reflecting on the impact of recent events in Israel on her creations, and how she communicates powerful emotions through her art. We delve into collective trauma and the influence it has had on her creative approach, discussing a series of her poignant posters advocating for the release of hostages. Wrapped in her raw narrative is the story of her latest piece, a heart-wrenching depiction of a young girl's ordeal that leaves no viewer untouched.
However, our discussion doesn't stop at the intersection of art and conflict - we also uncover the persistent topic of anti-Semitism in today's society, and how it relates to all of us. We speak about the importance of advocating for understanding, empathy, and sharing truthful information amidst the ongoing conflict. Hagar emphasizes the need for more women's voices in the current climate, inspiring us all to speak up and be part of the conversation. Join us for a riveting journey through art, conflict, and womanhood in Israel.
