Artists respond to the Brussels terror attacks

  • Text by HUCK HQ
U.N.I.T.Y. — After Brussels is hit by coordinated terrorist bombings, illustrators and artists around the world share their responses.

The world reacts to another European city in shock following a coordinated terrorist attack on Brussel’s airport and metro today. Early reports cite at least 30 dead and over 200 wounded, with ISIS claiming responsibility. The attacks come just four days after the main suspect of the November 2015 Paris attacks was arrested in Brussels.

These are the responses, of solidarity, of fear and of frustration, being shared across the globe.
