Meet KAL!

Campaign cartooning: Discussing how the art of satire shapes the political landscape

John Major’s underpants. Brown as Stalin. Obama as Osama. These images, as much as anything, show how a politician’s career can be made, or broken, on the back of public perception. With the US elections almost upon us, there is unprecedented opportunity for the art of satire to shape public opinion.

Kevin ‘KAL’ Kallaugher (celebrating 30 years as The Economist’s political cartoonist) and Henry Naylor (creator of TV’s ‘Headcases’ and ‘Spitting Image’ head writer) will discuss cartooning, campaigning and chicanery and explore how art can be used to interest, excite and intrigue any audience.

Politics will never look the same again.

This discussion will be chaired by Krishnan Guru-Murthy (Channel 4 News)

Date: Thursday 2nd October

Time: 7-8.15pm (Event will start promptly - please arrive 30 minutes early for registration)
