HUZZA FOR FREEDOM! OPENING EVENT
Where: Parliament Interpretive Centre, 265 Front St. E.
When: April 2nd, 6:30PM (Exhibit runs until September)
Who: Keely Bland, Oriana Duinker, Kristie Nairn, and Hilary Walker
What: Huzza for Freedom! will show a selection of American and British cartoons that reflect the political climate during the War of 1812. The interpretive themes explore how political cartoons were used for spreading news, ridiculing and dehumanizing the enemy, and critiquing internal politics. Interacting with these images was a way for individuals from both nations to exercise their democratic freedoms, as cartoonists and viewers. The tradition of graphic satire continues to this day, and contemporary cartoons reflect upon how modern Canadians commemorate the War of 1812.
