Selective Empathy in Practice: A Book Conversation and Participatory Arts Workshop
A book conversation with Roberto De Vogli, with a participatory workshop by David Limaverde
Roberto De Vogli's book Selective Empathy: The West Through the Gaze of Gaza takes us to the heart of the greatest moral crisis of our time: the genocide in Gaza. Blending sharp political critique with psychological and global health research, haunting testimonies, and suppressed facts, Roberto De Vogli exposes the moral double standards of mainstream Western leaders, journalists, and intellectuals.
