News tells you what happened. Drawing shows you how it felt | George Butler
TED Talks Daily 
Open in Hinto About this episode
<p>What does a war look like when you sit still long enough to draw it? Reportage artist and TED Fellow George Butler sketches the people that the news passes by: a 99-year-old survivor of the Holodomor famine in Ukraine, a man gathering books blasted into a rose garden, an architect whose home was hit by a Russian missile. Urging us to slow down in the age of immediate news, Butler shows how a drawing reveals what a headline can't.</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
