Icon, Myth and Conspiracy

Accompanying educational programme

Cankarjev dom Literature and Humanities Icon, Myth and Conspiracy

The front pages featuring John F. Kennedy present a dazzling image. Depicting the character of a healthy athlete, an exemplary family father, a loyal husband, a visionary statesman. Professor Karmen Šterk will explain why Kennedy’s persona attracted such sensational conspiracy theories. Professor and designer Boštjan Botas Kenda will speak about the adopted design solutions that were nothing short of deceptive – to put it mildly.

The interview will be moderated by Ali Žerdin, the Museum of Press curator, a journalist and editor.
