30 Seconds from Gaza: Diary of Genocide
Mohammad Sabaaneh
A Palestinian cartoonist turns brief, vulnerable phone footage from Gaza into a durable black-and-white graphic record.
Mohammad Sabaaneh begins with a form of evidence built to disappear: short videos reaching a phone, circulating through platforms that can remove, bury, or outlast them. He redraws those fragments as stark black, white, and grey images, turning the speed of the feed into the slower work of witness.
The result sits between graphic narrative, political cartooning, and visual archive. Rather than reproduce spectacle, Sabaaneh makes a reader stop at each frame and confront what a few seconds of footage carried.
