introduction
"This project came to illuminate the part of the veterans who shaped the character of the Yoav Regional Council"
The Autographers is an international documentary art project that brings together artists and witnesses to historical events. The traveling exhibition reflects history through the eyes of the people who experienced it, through talented artists documenting them. In this way, it connects the different generations, communities and cultures in a unique fabric for Yoav.
This venture came to illuminate the part of some of the veterans who have built their lives in the Yoav Regional Council, shaped its character and contributed to its development. All the documented have left a mark on many hearts, and all testify that their identity is connected with the Council, and for its future have always acted. The stories are inspiring: childhood in the shadow of wars and the establishment of the state, partnership in the establishment of settlements out of nothing, the work of the land and the nature that surrounds them, and above all the love of man and the community they created.
The products of our journey for the paths of memories give place and respect to the past and heritage, but also a fresh spirit with a look ahead through the eyes of the creators. This journey has been exciting for all of us, but there is no doubt in my heart that this is just the beginning, and that the ties that have been forged will continue to deepen their roots.
