Zapiro and Thierry Cassuto on satire and ZA News
Let It Out!/Recorded 2010
A close reading, kept within reach.
Jonathan Shapiro takes film & animation as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in South Africa in 2010, the conversation is grounded in Jonathan's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
ZA News is the result of a long-term collaboration between political cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro (aka Zapiro), and producer Thierry Cassuto.
