Critical caricatures from Turkey

How far do cartoonists dare to go in Turkey, as free press is increasingly muzzled in the country? The Caricatura Gallery in Kassel in cooperation with diyalog Istanbul shows 46 cartoonists from Turkey with examples of their work in a new exhibition under the title Schluss mit Lustig taking place in Kassel on the occasion of documenta 14.

A Panel followed the opening. Sabine Küper-Büsch selected the works for the exhibition and for the book published by the Avant Verlag with the same title.

The exhibition presents the latest works of the graphic avant-garde in Turkey. It shows how artistic work is possible or impossible in the current situation in Turkey and describes which picture codes satirists use to be able to continue to be published
