In the week that Parliament reconvenes, controversial cartoonist Martin Rowson visits the RSA to discuss his career as a ‘visual journalist’ and to trace the intriguing history of the political cartoon.
Rowson’s style is visceral and deliberately proactive, and he sees himself following in the tradition of eighteenth-century satirists and cartoonists, such as Gillray. How has cartooning and satirical art influenced political culture and public opinion in the past, and what is its status today?
For more than 200 years, the RSA has provided platforms for leading public thinkers. That tradition lives on in our free events programme.
Our distinguished and diverse roll call of speakers has recently featured, amongst others, Kofi Annan, Wangari Maathai, Al Gore, Clay Shirky, Jeffrey Sachs and Craig Venter.
