Les lettres d'Hilda Dajč

Aleksandar Zograf, the Serbian cartoonist, writes and draws this ongoing series for France's L'Association, launched in 2021. Each issue collects a single, long-form correspondence—a real letter from the artist's mother, Hilda Dajč, offering an intimate, firsthand glimpse into life in the former Yugoslavia. Zograf's distinctive, expressive linework frames these personal documents, making them a quietly powerful record of history as lived.
