Parsons The New School for Design Illustration Department presents a new mini symposium focused on how the current cultural climate is affecting the field of illustration. ‘Illustration in the Age of Anxiety’ looks at how illustration handles times of unease and anxiety in our culture, from the atomic anxiety of the 1950s to today's wars and upheaval. “Illustration in the Age of Anxiety” will feature three conversations lead by prominent and accomplished writers illustrators including: "Shaky Line, Shaky Times: Ed Koren and Ed Sorel in Conversation with Dan Nadel"; "Ben Katchor: Reading in Public" and "A Light in the Dark: Ruth Marten and Tara McPherson in conversation with Steven Guarnaccia”; and an introduction from Nora Krug.
