This activity was organised by Instituto Cervantes London and the Centre for Catalan Studies at Queen Mary University of London for the annual Joanot Martorell Lecture in Catalan Studies. Along with a deep interest in Spain and Catalonia in particular, the idea of humour and visual culture as dissidence has been at the centre of much of Rhiannon's research. Her work focuses on a wide range of cultural media, including visual print media (comics, 'zines, graphic novels and editorial cartoons), literature, film, theatre, television and the press within the broader context of 20th and 21st century Spain and Latin America. The lecture will be followed by a Q&A session. The event is aimed at Queen Mary students and the general public with an interest in this topic.
