For centuries, cartoons have been a feature of political life in the UK and internationally. Designed to ridicule leaders and their policies through the use of satire, these powerful visuals have served to shock, provoke and amuse long after their creation. Join us as we explore the work of leading cartoonists and their depictions of world leaders.
Organised in partnership with the Cartoon Museum.

Speakers
Anita O’Brien (Director, Cartoon Museum)
Dr Britta Martens (Senior Lecturer in English, UWE)
Gary Barker (Cartoonist and illustrator)
