Drawing Truth to Power (2022) | Badiucao, Dan Ilic & Cathy Wilcox


Listen Later

Drawing truth to power is more dangerous in some parts of the world than others. The combination of satire and anger can make the best political cartoons lethal to politicians, unveiling truths around human rights, leadership and freedom. But where do we draw the line between humour, offence and legality? And for cartoonists trapped between censorship and cancellation, what is there still left to draw?

Badiucao is one of the most popular and prolific political artist from China, and he confronts a variety of social and political issues head on in his work. He uses his art to challenge the censorship and dictatorship in China.

Cathy Wilcox is a cartoonist and illustrator who currently draws editorial cartoons for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. Over the years she has illustrated over 20 children's books and been involved in several theatre productions. She has received several Stanley Awards, three Walkley Awards and has twice been named Political Cartoonist of the Year by the Museum of Australian Democracy.

'Investigative Humourist' Dan Ilic is one of Australia's most prolific comedy voices, known for his work across TV, film, radio and stage. Co-host of the popular podcast and live comedy show A Rational Fear, Dan Ilic and Lewis Hobba brings together industry leaders to use comedy to explore big issues.
