Under the supervision of Piera Rossetto (PI of the research project Europe's InVisible Jewish Migrants, funded by the Austrian Science Fund), Verena Resch, graphic designer, transformed the original artwork Storyboard of Rachele Abravanel by Martina Melilli into a digital product. Melilli’s storyboard, realised on a physical support, with printed pictures and post-it for comments and explanations, had a limited possiblity of circulation. Resch’s challenge was to take the hand-made creation and transform it into something able to cross physical borders.The poster represents, in Rossetto's project framework, a way to engage with the digital turn in doing memory research (Garde-Hansen et al. 2009; Drozdzewski and Birdsall 2019) as well as with the exponential growth of digital projects in the context of the history of Jews from Arab and Muslim countries in contemporary times.
