After Charlie: What’s Next for Art, Satire, and Censorship?

Panel Discussion with Art Spiegelman, Molly Crabapple, Françoise Mouly, Emmanuel “Manu” Letouzé. Moderated by Leonard Lopate, radio host at WNYC.

The massacre at Charlie Hebdo brought urgent questions about censorship, satire, offense and artistic responsibility to the forefront. In response to this, a panel of cartoonists will discuss the future of satire, censorship and self-censorship, as well as the unique power of images especially when married to language.

This panel will feature Art Spiegelman, best known for his graphic novel Maus, cartoonist and journalist Molly Crabapple, editor and New Yorker Art Director Francoise Mouly, and Emmanuel Letouzé, socio-political cartoonist. These acclaimed graphic artists will help us examine the current landscape of cartoon and satire and what the attack at Charlie Hebdo means for the future of these essential components of our culture.

Hosted by PEN American Center, the National Coalition Against Censorship and The French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF).

Venue:
