LOC (finally) posts video from The Fight for Free Expression: Defending Cartoonists Around the World panel

by Bruce Guthrie

The LOC has posted the video from the May 23rd panel "The Fight for Free Expression: Defending Cartoonists Around the World" on YouTube.

The direct link to the video is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar25uDRzqpo

[it, and a transcript, are also at

https://www.loc.gov/item/webcast-10852

https://tile.loc.gov/streaming-services/iiif/media:webcasts:2023:230523pnp1130:230523pnp1130-1280x720_2000/full/full/0/full/default.txt - ed.]

I posted my stills from the event a month or so ago -- the Cartoonists' Rights group asked that I delay posting the pictures due to threats against Abecor's life -- and the direct link to those photos is:

http://www.bguthriephotos.com/graphlib.nsf/keys/2023_05_23A1_Free_XPress

The amended description of the event that I posted was:

The Fight for Free Expression: Defending Cartoonists Around the World
Join award-winning campaigner Terry Anderson and a panel of experts to learn more about the global trends threatening cartoonists, and why satirical art matters. Learn about the efforts of the Cartoonist Rights Network International to protect human rights and defend cartoonists threatened as a result of their work.
Panelists:
* Roslyn Mazer (Moderator) -– Counsel to Amicus Association of American Editorial Cartoonists before the Supreme Court in Hustler Magazine v. Falwell
* Terry Anderson -- Executive Director, Cartoonist Rights
* Kevin "KAL" Kallaugher – editorial cartoonist (The Economist, The Baltimore Sun)
* Alexandra Bowman – political cartoonist, fine artist and satirist (DC Theater Arts, Washington City Paper)
* Gabe Rottman -- Director of the Technology and Press Freedom Project at the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press
Sara Duke from the Library of Congress introduced the event.
Among those in the audience were Abel Bellido Córdoba ("Abecor"), Clay Jones, Warren Bernard, and Nikahang Kowsar.
Write-up from the Cartoonists Rights group: Abecor was the honored guest at a special panel discussion event hosted at the Library of Congress. Cartoonists Rights' Executive Director Terry Anderson gave a keynote address on the defence of cartoonists' freedom of expression, and on the panel were local cartoonists Kevin "KAL" Kallaugher and Alexandra Bowman. Expert opinion on threats to all media workers and journalists was provided by Gabe Rottman, Technology and Press Freedom Project Director for Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. The panel was moderated by Roslyn Mazer, Amicus Counsel to the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists in Hustler Magazine v. Falwell.

Responding to Kevin Siers comments, I believe the Post also doesn't want to be bothered with the grief of a permanent liberal member of the editorial team, as Toles and Herblock were. So they're gag cartoons, and Mike Ramirez, a conservative cartoonist (presumably to show they're fair and balanced too), and Herblock is probably spinning in his grave. (where is his grave anyway? I'd visit)

Yesterday's Artle (art puzzle) from the National Gallery of Art is?

Yesterday's Artle was... Robert Crumb! Apparently only represented in the NGA by donated comic books, it's still nice to see a cartoonist in the NGA. The donors, William and Abigail Gerdt, also gave a LOT of nice still lives. As well as other underground comix.
