Pie charts of truth – Katja Berlin on political satire and bitter reality
with Katja Berlin
Katja Berlin has created a new genre of political satire. Over the past 10 years, with her legendary column “Torten der Wahrheit” [“Pie Charts of Truth”] in newspaper Die Zeit, she has delivered satirical graphics that provide illuminating insights into political and social topics. The focus is always on the most pressing questions of our time. At lit.COLOGNE she will present her most apposite works and provide pithy insights into issues such as digitalization, climate protection, equal opportunity and progress. These pie charts reveal our consistently erroneous assumptions about societal reality and prevailing opinions. They are both memorable and surprising. Rarely has gaining knowledge been so fun. This is the most hilarious political retrospective since the invention of the crisis, and it redefines what political humor can be. Most recently, Katja Berlin published the book Was Rechtspopulisten fordern: Ein Manifest gegen den Rechtsruck in satirischen Grafiken [“What Right-wing Populists Want: A Manifesto Against the Rightward Swing in Satirical Graphics”].
