Cartoons in World War I: Irish and Franco-Belgian Encounters

All welcome

The First World War was a devastating conflict, but how did artists at the time use cartoons to tell the story? In association with the 2018 Galway Cartoon Festival, this Moore Institute conference will explore the impact of cartoons in Ireland and Europe during the war, with a particular focus on the rich tradition of Franco-Belgian graphic art. The event is coordinated by the discipline of French at NUI Galway, in collaboration with the French Honorary Consul to Galway and Connacht, Catherine Gagneux. The event is also supported by the Belgian Embassy and Wallonie-Bruxelles International (WBI), the agency responsible for the international relations of the French-speaking communities of Belgium.
