“Freedom of expression: 10 years on, what remains of the Charlie spirit?” Cabu, Charb, Honoré, Tignous, Wolinski, Elsa Cayat, Bernard Maris, Mustapha Ourrad, Franck Brinsolaro, Frédéric Boisseau, Michel Renaud and Ahmed Merabet. These names are still synonymous with courage and freedom. 7 January 2015 – An opportunity for the Haute-Garonne Departmental Council, in partnership with Cartooning for Peace, to look back on this anniversary and reflect on the profession of press cartoonist and journalists in general, the 17 January 2025 at 7pm.
In the presence of :
Round table moderated by David Medioni, journalist for Franc-Tireur and Conspiracy Watch, director of the Media Observatory at the Fondation Jean Jaurès.
To mark the occasion, the Cartooning for Peace exhibition ‘Press cartoons: A State of Affairs’, on display until 31 January, will be presented in the Boris Vian space in La Salvetat Saint Gilles. It offers an insight into the work of press cartoonists, pacifist defenders of the ills of our societies, who are regularly the target of attacks around the world. And yet, through the beneficial medium of laughter, they are the courageous guarantors of freedom of the press, helping to preserve the health of our democracies when it is threatened.
This round-table discussion is organised as part of the “Chemins de la République” programme, by the Haute-Garonne Departmental Council.
This January, Cartooning for Peace, which is committed to defending freedom of expression on a daily basis, is paying tribute to Charlie Hebdo: More information here.
