Drawing the Line: Political Cartooning in the Age of Offence
Thursday 22 October
7pm - 9pm
DACS invites you to a Battle of Ideas Satellite event
The most vicious political cartoons are often the most effective. So should political cartoonists pull no punches, whatever offence they cause? If we curtail political cartooning, is it press censorship or simply ensuring good taste?
Speakers:
Sarnath Banerjee
- artist, film-maker; graphic novelist, Corridor and Barn Owl's Wondrous Capers; founder, New Delhi's Phantomville comics publishing house.
Dave Brown
- political cartoonist, The Independent; author, Rogues' Gallery: more misused masterpieces
John Kampfner
