Satire Under Siege: A Conversation with International Cartoonists

Cartoonists are on the front line of freedom of expression around the world today. They employ a very potent tool - ridicule - to puncture the pomposity of the powerful. But the powerful don't often appreciate the joke. We will talk today with two of the globe's most effective cartoonists and discuss the challenges of being a satirist battling repressive political regimes. Kevin "Kal" Kallaugher will moderate this discussion with Godfrey Mwampembwa "Gado" of Kenya and Rayma Suprani of Venezuela. Light lunch served at 11:45 am.

A prelude to the Duke-AAEC Political Cartoon & Satire Festival being held at Duke Sept. 22-24.
