The screening and discussion around US editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes, moderated by Patrick Chappatte and organized by the Foundation last May at the Grütli cinemas in Geneva, in partnership with Le Temps newspaper, was not only a great public success (two full theaters), but also led to a unique collaboration between the two cartoonists. Their dialogue continued and gave birth to the book “Censure en Amérique”, released in October 2025 by Les Arènes, in Paris.

In it, the two cartoonists reflect on the state of political satire in the United States and ask a pressing question: In a country that seems to be drifting toward autocracy, is there still room for political satire? The book unfolds as a conversation in words and cartoons, exposing the growing culture of censorship and reminding us that everywhere, when cartoonists are silenced, democracy is in danger.

The Freedom Cartoonists Foundation and its role are highlighted in this book, thereby contributing to our mission to support editorial cartoonists around the world and to defend freedom of expression.
