Round-table “Cartoonists on the line”

As part of its exhibition ENJEUX HUMAINS (Human Issues), and to mark the release of its latest report on the situation of threatened press cartoonists around the world, Cartooning for Peace, in partnership with the Centre d’action laïque de la Province de Liège, is holding a round-table discussion entitled “Cartoonists on the line” on 11 January at 7pm.

ROUND-TABLE “Cartoonists on the line”

11 January, at 7pm, at the “Salon des Lumières” of La Cité Miroir, Liège, Belgium

It will soon be ten years since the tragic attack on the editorial staff of Charlie Hebdo, French satirical magazine. Around the world, the profession is under threat, and cartoonists are often the first to take the blows and bear the brunt of censorship, whether by extremist movements or authoritarian regimes.

Cartooning for Peace highlights this in its latest report on the situation of threatened cartoonists around the world, and we will be debating it with :

• Juin (France), cartoonist, Charlie Hebdo
• Lectrr (Belgium), cartoonist and member of Cartooning for Peace, De Standaard
• Catherine Vuylsteke, journalist (Belgium), author of the book “Draw for change”
• Sylvain Platevoet, Project Manager – International Development and Advocacy, Cartooning for Peace

Admission free, registration recommended via reservation@citemiroir.be or +32 (0)4 230 70 50.
