Meet and mingle at this reception for a fascinating exhibition showcasing the daring cartoon art of Atila Ozer.

Atila Ozer (1949-2011) was a Turkish artist and a top international cartoonist who spent his life creating intriguing, meaningful cartoon art, while also educating others on the craft. Ozer's illustrations commented on world peace through the symbolic iconography of cartoons and depicted the medium's powerful language. His research, presentations, and articles emphasized cartoon art's place in international culture as a means of communication.

As part of tonight's program, Ozer's niece and managing editor of the Journal Of Conflict Resolution, Deniz Cil, will speak about her uncle's life and career.

Presented in conjunction with the American Middle East Institute and Atila Ozer Cartoon House. For more information, call (412) 232-0199.
