Forum: Hierarchy

Do we have to have a ‘pecking order’?

Political satirist Martin Rowson in conversation with Bridget Kendall about the power of caricature to undermine hierarchies. He explains why some politicians hang the originals of his cartoons, which they’d purchased at some expense, in their toilets, and why there seems to be an inverse relationship between tolerance for visual satire and revolutions.
