A handpicked roster of award-winning international cartoonists will discuss free speech, democracy, and more

Political and editorial cartoons have long been a way to illustrate newsworthy current events in a way that’s effective, succinct, and poignant. On October 13, a curated selection of acclaimed international editorial cartoonists will convene at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights as part of the event Cartooning for Peace: The Art of Democracy. Hosted by France-Atlanta 2016 along with the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, the Atlanta Press Club, the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, and Cartooning for Peace, the event will feature a panel discussion and cartoon demo surrounding democracy and free speech.
