Interview with Khalid Albaih

Political cartoonist

Coming off a road trip with CULTURUNNERS—an independent arts organization that promotes cultural exchange by inviting artists to create and exhibit works while traveling from place to place—influential political cartoonist Khalid Albaih recently journeyed across the United States against the backdrop of the country’s presidential elections. The project was his attempt to explore the shared struggle for human and civil rights between the Middle East and the United States, but was also research for a new series of his notoriously stark and politically-charged work.
