‘Visualizing Survivor’s Voices’ panel hosted by NIOD at SPUI25, Amsterdam – June 18, 2025
How can graphic novels help us to communicate and understand the past? How can survivors of violence and mass atrocities work in dialogue with graphic novel artists to interpret and record their experiences? How can we share these narratives in meaningful ways? These are some of the questions that will be discussed during the ‘Visualizing Survivor’s Voices’ panel hosted by the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies at SPUI25 in Amsterdam on June 18.
This event will bring together witnesses, artists, and researchers to reflect upon the ways in which personal narratives of mass violence are recorded and shared by visual narratives. It will feature a diverse group of speakers, including Dr. Charlotte Schallié and Dr. Andrea Webb, co-directers of the SCVN project, graphic artist Tobi Dahmen, survivor of the Syrian regime and the narrator of Dahmen’s forthcoming graphic novel Akram al-Saud, and NIOD historians Dr. Kees Ribbens and Dr. Uğur Ümit Üngör.
