Red Lines: Cartooning at Risk

https://www.ascmediarisk.org/events/red-lines-cartooning-at-risk/

Cartoons are among the most basic forms of political commentary, but their evocative power also renders them and their creators vulnerable to attack. Today's threats range from direct attacks by governments to self-censorship by publishers and the crossfire of the culture wars. This symposium brings together leading artists and experts to discuss the power and precarity of cartoons in America and around the world.
