Yesterday, I attended the opening of the exhibition 'Drawing Freely' (Dessins en Liberté). Located in Europe House, 12-14 Mount Street, Dublin 2, it is a collection of editorial cartoons by 50 different cartoonists from around the world.
Freedom of expression is the overriding theme of the exhibition and the cartoons cover topics such as racism, censorship, corruption and women's rights. During the opening, Anthony Bellanger of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and Wolfgang Grebenhof of the German Federation of Journalists, spoke about the challenges faced by journalists as they go about their job.
Catch it while you can - the exhibition runs until 9 December 2016.
