description With the War on Terror such a pressing issue as of late, there have been many artistic memorials in order to commemorate lost lives and bring the public together. This was seen very recently - after last week’s bombings in Brussels, artists responded with a variety of cartoons as well as lighting up Rome’s Trevi fountain.

This morning we were joined by Dr. Kit Mes sham-Muir, senior lecturer in Art History and Theory at the University of Newcastle for his input. Producer: Emilia Aslan
