Finding Funny in Complicated Times – Cartooning for Peace LIVE: August 11, 2020 5:30 pm EST


Explore the work of cartoonists who use their passion for cartooning and social justice to inspire consideration of global issues and human rights through art. Panelists Liza Donnelly, Ann Telnaes, and Ed Hall are members of Cartooning for Peace, a group of international cartoonists working in support of world peace. The organization was envisioned in 2005 by French cartoonist Jean Plantu, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, and other who believe in in the communicative power of the cartoon medium.

Ann Carolyn Telnaes is an editorial cartoonist. In 2001, she became the second cartoonist to win the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. In 2017, she received the Reuben Award, and thus became the first woman to have received both the Reuben Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning.

Ed Hall is a three time recipient of the Excellence in Journalism Award from The Florida Press Club. Code Red and Diversions are collections of his work, which is distributed through Artizans, a Canadian Syndicate. His cartoons have been featured in Der Spiegel, The New Internationalist Magazine, and in many international publications.
