Summary
In The Once and Future Riot (Cape) cartoonist Joe Sacco turns to the communal riots that rocked Uttar Pradesh in 2013. With works such as Palestine, Safe Area Goradze, The Fixer, War Junkie and Footnotes in Gaza Sacco single-handedly invented the genre of graphic reportage, and remains its leading exponent. He was at the shop to talk about his work on the frontline of global conflict, and the role that imagery can play in raising awareness. Sacco was in conversation with writer and editor Skye Arundhati Thomas whose book Palestine is Everywhere has just been co-published by Silver Press and TBA21. Their earlier books include Pleasure Gardens, co-written with Izabella Scott, and Remember the Details. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
