PRESS RELEASE
PRESS CARTOONS: A STATE OF AFFAIRS
An International Seminar on Freedom of Speech
Monday, September 21st, 2015, in Paris
The international network, Cartooning for Peace, and the Social, Economic and
Environmental Council (SECE) are organizing an international seminar on press
cartoons and freedom of speech on September 21st in Paris. This event came from
the collaborative reflexion of philosopher Régis Debray and cartoonist Plantu,
President of Cartooning for Peace.
The strong emotions generated around the world by the terrorist attacks in Paris
and Copenhagen in early 2015, combined with a new awareness of the growing
chasms between different communities in our societies, have lead to the creation
of a common space dedicated to the promotion of dialogue, the exchange of
ideas, debates on the freedom of speech and cartoons in the press; a space that
is more important than ever.
Indeed, press cartoons evoke many questions: in the name of freedom of
expression, shall we tolerate anything and everything? Is it possible to laugh
about everything, with everyone? How can we combine freedom, responsibility and
tolerance?
Cartoons in the press make us smile, convey messages in a direct way and
encourage thinking: they are, undeniably, tools at the service of open dialogue
and tolerance. By laying the foundation of a calm and peaceful debate, this
seminar seeks to suggest concrete solutions so we may all coexist together,
free.
The seminar is divided in two distinct sessions of debates and round-table
discussions:
- From 9:00 AM to 12:35 PM: morning session will help to define a
multidisciplinary picture of the state of freedom of speech today. The agenda
includes a history of caricature through time and space (with historians Jean-
Noël Jeanneney and Pascal Ory), a description of the evolution of laws regarding
freedom of speech in France and abroad (Georges Kiejman, lawyer, and Jack Lang,
President of the Arab World Institute) and the status of images in the 3 major
monotheistic religions (Jean-François Colosimo (essay writer and publisher),
Hélé Béji (writer) and Delphine Horvilleur (rabbi).
- From 1:45 PM to 5:30 PM: the afternoon session will be dedicated to debates
and live drawing with cartoonists, opening the floor for discussion about their
work and prospects for the future, particularly after the shock of January
7th, 2015.
About 15 cartoonists, all of whom are members of the international network,
Cartooning for Peace, will debate and share their points of view about
constraints, secularism, freedom and tolerance.
After the debates, different activities will take place in the Palais d'Iéna
until 6:00 PM including: signing sessions, book sales, short animation
screenings, press cartoons fresco and meetings with Cartooning for Peace
volunteers.
From September 18th to October 11th, an exhibition of press cartoons on freedom
of speech will be displayed open-air on the walls of the Palais d'Iéna (Avenue
Albert de Mun).
