Khalil Bendib grew up in Morocco and Algeria, and now resides in Berkeley, California. In addition to his work as an editorial cartoonist, Bendib’s public art and sculptures include a 40 foot mural for the Arab Cultural Center in San Francisco and the Alex Odeh Memorial Statue in Santa Ana, CA. In 2007, Bendib published a collection of editorial cartoons, Mission Accomplished: Wicked Cartoons by America’s Most Wanted Political Cartoonist.

Eric J. Garcia is a Chicago-based artist who mixes history and culture with contemporary themes. He works in an assortment of media, from hand-printed posters, to nationally published political cartoons, to large scale public murals and sculpture, all with a common goal of “educating and challenging.” Garcia’s series of political cartoons, El Machete Illustrated, addresses issues facing Chicago, the U.S., and the world.

Alberto Ledesma is a Mexican-American scholar, writer, and artist. Ledesma holds a doctorate degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and is Graduate Diversity Director in Arts & Humanities at Berkeley. Exploring his own experiences from immigrant to student to academic, his 2017 graphic novel Diary of a Reluctant Dreamer presents a humorous, gritty, and multilayered portrait of undocumented immigrant life in urban America.
