In January, 2015 terrorism attacked freedom of expression with the assault on the satire magazine Charlie Hebdo. The slogan "Je suis Charlie" became ubiquitous. All of Europe showed its solidarity with France. The European media reproduced caricatures as a show of solidarity.
European cultural organizations hold on to the belief in the freedom of expression, and refuse to avoid difficult topics. Four caricaturists gathered on February 11, 2016, at NYU's Washington, DC campus to discuss these questions: Steven Degryse (LECTTRR) from Belgium, Ann Telnaes (The Washington Post), Kevin Kallaugher (The Economist), Matt Wuerker (Politico).
This event was held in cooperation with the Embassy of Belgium and the House of Flanders, New York. The program was also supported by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States, the British Council, the Embassy of Slovenia, the Austrian Cultural Forum, the Goethe-Institut, EUNIC and New York University.
