Satirical Cartoons in Libya: Past and Present

20 May '20 at 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm

A talk by author and blogger Ghazi Gheblawi

Caricature and satirical cartoons in Libya in the last 50 years evolved from addressing social changes and the details of daily life in a country that went through fast political and economic changes to the struggles of ridding the country of decades of authoritarianism and political upheaval and civil conflict in recent years, Through presenting the works of mainly two caricaturists, Mohamed Zawawi and Hasan Dhaimish we embark on a journey that covers these social, economic and political issues and focus on a country and its people.
