NEW PUBLICATION
Essay by Maxime Valsamas
 Humour Me traces the development of caricature, across several cultures and centuries, as a tool in dismantling power structures. While recognizing that caricature could be harmful in the reinforcement of stereotypes, the exhibition focusses on caricature that turns hierarchy on its head. Through caricature, artists satirized politicians, wealthy urbanites, religious authorities and fashion trends, as well as themselves and their colleagues.
This brochure is published in conjunction with the exhibition Humour Me. Download the brochure or pick up your printed copy at Agnes, while supplies last.
