23.04.21: Mark Seddon is live with Mohammed Sabaaneh

“I’m Mohammad Sabaaneh, Palestinian cartoonist, I live in Ramallah. I have just finished my masters degree from the UK, I got a Chevening Scholarship. I finished my masters degree in illustration at the University of the Creative Arts. I published my first book in the United States, in the UK and Spain and now I am working on my second book. It is going to be a comics book and I will publish the first edition with Street Noise published in the United States, also I will publish it in the UK”

“Mohammad welcome, thanks for that great introduction. My name is Mark Seddon, I’m in Britain and I have worked with cartoonists most of my life as a journalist as well but from the safety of their homes in Britain where they don’t face arrest and where they have licence really to draw and say what they want.” “It must have been very difficult to work as you have done in an environment where there is no real room for criticism?”
