On November 11, Joe Sacco – the legendary graphic novelist and journalist – sat with The Wire’s editor Seema Chishti to discuss genocide, Palestine, war, humanity and the problem of “objectivity in journalism”.

As the talks unfolded, I had the chance to draw the fabled artist and his audience.

All illustrations are by Pariplab Chakraborty.
