Meet Joe Sacco
Thursday, 17.9.2026,
7.30pm–8.30pm
Known for his nuanced, critical and eloquent comics reportage, the artist and author Joe Sacco (b. 1960) is returning to Basel. Back in 2015, Cartoonmuseum Basel dedicated a major retrospective to him, featuring original drawings. In conversation with comics expert and cultural researcher Christian Gasser, he discusses his latest works: ‘The Once and Future Riot’, which examines the subversion of India’s democratic structures by its Hindu nationalist majority, and ‘Requiem for Gaza’, a powerful work, in which Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco present the testimony of displaced Palestinians.
