9 November: Martin Rowson – Giving the Gift of Offence

Martin Rowson is a multi-award-winning political cartoonist, author, ranter, illustrator, broadcaster and poet who’s been assailing the world of politics and the news with his thought-provoking images for 40 years.

Martin was last at Calstock Arts with his Cartoon History of Brexit in October 2019. He returns to the Old Chapel with his new show “Giving the Gift of Offence“, where Martin takes us through 40 years of British Politics, with both his personal and his cartoon responses to the individuals he has met: including the perennial challenges of having to work out how to draw the “fresh meat” of each new Prime Minister, alongside the cavalcade of events we’ve all witnessed and he’s depicted.

Refreshingly indiscreet in revealing the people beneath the pomp and spin (as well as spilling the beans on the true nature of journalism), this new show will be fully illustrated.
