The Parliament interpretive centre in Toronto has a treat for politics, history, satire and cartoon/graphic fans! Four Masters of Museum Studies students from the University of Toronto have curated an exhibition that explores how the production and consumption of political cartoons during the War of 1812 allowed American citizens and British subjects to exercise their democratic freedoms.
Curated by: Hilary Walker, Keely Bland, Kristie Nairn and Oriana Duinker
