Description

Political cartoons and satire have a long and powerful history of pricking our conscience and calling out authority. But around the world, this art form - and the artists who create it - are under threat. The panel will explore the political and economic forces behind the dramatic decline in political cartoons, the physical and legal threats to cartoonists, and efforts to defend the artform.
