Lectures
I really enjoy teaching and lecturing. In recent years, I have opened two lectures in which I share my experiences as an illustrator and illustration entrepreneur.
Wrapping Memory
In the lecture, I talk about the behind-the-scenes of the successful illustration project "Wrapping Memory" that I initiated after the October 7th disaster. The project involves lecturers and graduates of the Visual Communication Department at Bezalel, who illustrated the beauty of the Gaza envelope as it appeared before the disaster. So far, the project has raised approximately 1,500,000 NIS, which helps to care for orphans living in the envelope, establish laundry rooms and shared kitchens for evacuees, purchase medicine and food baskets, assist with emergency classes, respite kits for children in Sderot at the beginning of the war, and more.
"The illustrations literally brought the place to life. Here, hundreds of terrorists were running in all directions, the illustrations transformed the face of the place. We felt at home again in our beloved place. A memory enveloped us with warmth and longing."
Daniela and Moti Bar Tzur, Kibbutz Be'ari
"The moving paintings filled me with hope that one day we will return to Nir Oz. Thank you for this project, which is like medicine and air to breathe for us."
Liat Atzili, Kibbutz Nir Oz. She was kidnapped to Gaza on October 7th and returned after 54 days of captivity in Gaza.
"The way Amit shares his journey is inspiring in the deepest sense of the word. He is an incomparable personality, in his unique way he manages to connect the worlds of thought and action."

"The lecture is full of eye-opening and inspiring examples, making the two hours fly by. Thank you, on behalf of several generations of the Designers' Incubator!"
