Françoise Mouly, the art editor of The New Yorker and the author of Blown Covers, will take us behind the scenes at the magazine and discuss how artists fish for ideas, prepare batches for submissions and then brace themselves for rejection.

- Behind The Scenes - The New Yorker

She’ll reveal many of the shocking and hilarious sketches that didn’t make the cut, and how contemporary history—from the farce of Monica Lewinsky to the adventures of Michelle and Barack to nuclear meltdown in Japan—is captured in images that are as acute as they are outrageous. Mouly and her panel of artists will demonstrate how the magazine that exemplifies journalistic excellence in America also dares to cultivate a sense of humor when grappling with complex moral and political issues.
