“If you were to ask me where I’m from, I would say I’m from Internet,” says Sudanese political cartoonist Khalid Albaih. “Identity is a deep question - with no single answer. It’s really hard to be a 30-year old living with an identity crisis. I’m African yet I’m Arab and Muslim. Living in Sudan I lived under a government where Arabs and Muslims ruled - yet most of Sudan is not Arab or Muslim. I’ve lived as an oppressor and as an oppressed.” Khalid Albaih is a Political cartoonist, that has inspired discontented youth across the Arab world through his online work. But cartooning, while an inspiration to Arab protesters, can also foment anger. Demonstrations broke out across the world in 2006 after a Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, published editorial cartoons satirizing the Prophet Muhammad. In his ISE lecture Khalid Albaih will nuance the controversies, politics and complications that very simple graphic representations of our realities can trigger across the world.
