On Oct. 10, 9 pm, Zerocalcare arrives for the first time at Sala Fucine to present his new comic book No Sleep till Shengal, a reportage of his journey to Iraq in 2021 in search of the Ezid community of Shengal, threatened by international tensions and protected by Kurdish militias, and whose living conditions and struggle have been thoroughly documented in the book.

With his unmistakable style and voice capable like few others of filtering the many nuances of modern society, Zerocalcare takes a journey that will prove both painful and necessary to better understand the world around us. This free event, by reservation only, is part of the OGR Talks schedule and is presented by OGR Torino and BAO Publishing, in synergy with Fondazione Circolo dei Lettori.

A voice as capable as few to filter the many nuances of our modern society and a journey, which will prove painful but necessary to better understand the world around us.

ZEROCALCARE
Born in Arezzo in 1983, after living in France he moved to Rebibbia, Rome. Always very active in the world of social centers, in 2011 he produced his first comic book, La profezia dell'armadillo, which in 2012 was reprinted in a full-color edition by the Milanese publisher BAO Publishing. Other publications followed, Un polpo alla gola, Ogni maledetto lunedì su due – a collection of blog stories. Dodici, Dimentica il mio nome - nominated for the Strega Prize, L’elenco telefonico degli accolli, Kobane Calling, in which he recounts his own experience on the Turkish-Syrian border in support of the Kurdish people. 2017 is the year of the Artist Edition of his masterpiece La Profezia dell’Armadillo, which inspired the film of the same title presented in 2018 at the 75th Venice Film Festival. In 2019, the success is confirmed by the exhibition Scavare Fossati - Nutrire coccodrilli, shown at MAXXI in Rome. In 2021, his following grows further with an animated series for Netflix entitled Strappare lungo i bordi, which receives universal acclaim from audiences and critics alike. A few months later, a new comic book collection containing stories related to social engagement combined with the author's reflections on the making of the animated series is released: Niente di nuovo sul fronte di Rebibbia.
