Join us for a special edition of Philo Bistro with award-winning editorial cartoonist Cathy Wilcox, whose work appears regularly in The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. Known for her sharp wit and bold commentary, Cathy will dive into the stories behind her most powerful cartoons — the ones that made headlines, sparked public debate, or stirred controversy.
From press freedom and Charlie Hebdo to the subtle pressures that shape political commentary, this event will explore what it means to draw truth in uncertain times. Cathy will reflect on the ethical boundaries and risks of satire, and what cartooning reveals about the soul of a nation.
A highlight of the evening: Cathy will do a live digital drawing session, with her creative process projected on the big screen — a rare, behind-the-scenes look from sketch to finished cartoon.
Moderated by Olivier Vojetta, this evening promises to be both insightful and visually captivating.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to meet one of Australia’s most fearless visual commentators.
Discover our series of philosophy meet-ups - à la française!
During these themed sessions moderated by published author, Olivier Vojetta, explore ideas of social and cultural importance,
unpack contemporary issues and re-examine how you understand the world. Each meet-up is an opportunity to engage in friendly debate
and discussion over a glass of wine, whilst practising your French speaking, listening and comprehension skills.
We recommend French level B2+ to participate. No additional preparation is necessary.
Olivier Vojetta was born in Nancy, France and lived in London for more than 10 years before moving Down Under with his Australian wife. He is a fiction writer who has published several novels in French.
