Artists Against the War
Posted by Erika
The Society of Illustrators, in collaboration with The Nation, presents:
"This show is the expression of over 60 of the top graphic artists and illustrators working in the United States and abroad whose anguish has compelled them to produce works that challenge the self-destructive ignorance, indifference, incompetence and corruption that is the result of US Middle East foreign policy. These works of art will give a voice to those whose views are not represented by the mainstream media. We will be using this forum as a way to support those most directly affected by the harsh consequences of military combat—the brave men and women who serve their country as well as their family members who must live with the affects of war long after the parades are over."
January 3–January 26, 2008
As part of this show, the Society of Illustrators will host a panel discussion on Wednesday, January 23, at 7:00 pm. The discussion is titled The Media: The First Casualty in Iraq and will focus on the obstruction of free speech in pictures and text during the Bush era. Political cartoonist Steve Brodner will act as moderator. Panelists include Christian Parenti, author and contributor to The Nation; Steven Heller, designer and historian; and David Wallace, author of Killed Cartoons. The cost is $10 ($6 for students).
