The Iziko South African National Gallery is hosting an exhibition of cartoons by Apartheid-era political cartoonist Derek Bauer, who died in 2001. This a rare opportunity to see some of his original works and learn more about the history of political cartooning in South Africa. The exhibition also includes contributions from political cartoonists Zapiro and Brandan Reynolds.


More information:
"Alternative Press is an exhibition of original cartoons dedicated to the talent of cartoonist Derek Bauer. He became well known for his inherently irreverent cartoons and caricatures of politicians and other prominent figures during the troubled and Apartheid-stricken South Africa and the turbulent world in the 1980s. His work appeared in an alternative South African newspaper, The Weekly Mail, where he expressed his fiercely independent and challenging views through the critical art of cartooning. The exhibition will also showcase work by [sic] contemporary cartoons by Brandan Reynolds and work by Zapiro."
