Since the mid-20th century, paper cuttings have been used for propaganda and education in both East and West. This lecture explores how the medium has contributed to reporting on historical events and disseminating political programs, and how contemporary artists critically engage with current socio-political issues. The lecture will demonstrate that, thanks to its adaptability, paper cutting remains a vital medium that has lost none of its fascination.
