Cartoons and Taboos - Dancing in a Visual Minefield

Thursday, February 11, 6:30 - 8 pm
New York University, 1307 L St. NW

The recent terrorist attacks in Paris against Charlie Hebdo and the controversy ten years ago related to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons raise some fundamental questions. Some people have demanded that lines should be drawn with respect to "acceptable" and "unacceptable" forms of provocation. Discussion between Belgian cartoonist Lectrr (Steven Degryse), KAL (Kevin Kallaugher; The Economist and The Baltimore Sun), Ann Telnaes (The Washington Post), and Matt Wuerker (POLITICO).
