3:00 - 4:00 pm, IMAGE, ACTIVISM, AND AUTOBIOGRAPHY in the White Oak Room, featuring Ebony Flowers and Sylvia Nickerson
For many autobiographical cartoonists, the personal truly is political. From direct participation in protests and political unrest, to suffering the effects of gentrification, to horrifying encounters with the police, to exploring self-image, each of the cartoonists on this panel has a unique perspective on recording these narratives. Join moderator and scholar Francesca Lyn as she discusses these issues with Ben Passmore (Your Black Friend And Other Stories), Ebony Flowers (Hot Comb), Bianca Xunise (Say Her Name), Sylvia Nickerson (Creation), and Halfdan Pisket (Deserter).
4:00 - 5:00pm, Ebony Flowers and Sylvia Nickerson signing
Sunday September 15, 12 pm to 6 pm
12:30 - 1:30 pm, HARD THOUGHTS AND VISUAL METAPHORS in the White Oak Room, featuring Eleanor Davis and Kevin Huizenga
Cartoonists whose work differs in tone, style, and subject matter are often united in their visual solutions to the problem of trying to get at difficult thoughts, feelings, and concepts. Join scholar and moderator Isaac Cates as he explores the idea of cartoonists pushing themselves to express uncomfortable and enigmatic ideas with Rikki Villadsen (The Sea), Kevin Huizenga (The River At Night), Eleanor Davis (Why Art?), and Simon Hanselmann (Bad Gateway).
1:00 - 2:00 pm, Sylvia Nickerson signing
1:30 - 2:30 pm, Eleanor Davis signing

Regarding the photos of the remarks, the podium was flanked by the Mexican and American flags. Due to the angle I was standing at, I was only able to get the American flag in my shots.

EXHIBIT: 100 YEARS OF CARTOON IN EL UNIVERSAL
September 4 - October 30, 2019 at the Mexican Cultural Institute
El Universal newspaper editorial director David Aponte |
The Mexican Cultural Institute is proud to announce its newest exhibit, 100 Years of Cartoons in El Universal: Mexico - United States as Seen by Mexican Cartoonists, taking place from September 4 through October 30, 2019. The exhibit collects a brief sample of the thousands of cartoons published in 100 years in the widely known newspaper, El Universal, where almost all Mexican cartoonists of the 20th century have traveled through. This exhibit reads as a nodal part of the history of the cartoon in Mexico and includes a brief representation of the artists who traced and portrayed the history of the country. The pages of El Universal have shown the critical work, with aesthetic greatness, by artists such as Andrés Audiffred, Eduardo del Río Rius, Helioflores and Rogelio Naranjo, who have all shaped Mexican national events with art and humor.
The exhibition consists of seventy pieces; sixty-two of them orginal and of great value. Most came from the Museum of the Cartoon of Mexico City, from the authors themselves, and from private collectors. The works follow three themes: the American cartoon, the vision of the cartoonists around Uncle Sam and their vision around the American presidents. 100 Years of Cartoons in El Universal is complemented with the first cartoonists of El Universal and concludes with the great masters of the Mexican cartoon.
