17 April 2017- International cartoon exhibition, Kenya
Добавлено: Пн мар 13, 2017 5:42 amDear Cartoonist,
The atmosphere for satirists is changing.Global events, from enforcement of laws against insulting the President in Tanzania and newspaper self-censorship in Kenya to the election of Donald Trump in the US and government harassment of cartoonists in Turkey and Malaysia, are creating new challenges and, sometimes, new opportunities for satire.
The Nairobi Satire Festival is giving global cartoonists the opportunity to explore what this means for their craft. The NSF will be hosting an international cartoon exhibition with the theme “Speaking Truth To Power” which will provide an opportunity for cartoonists across the world to turn their formidable wit and ridicule on the thin-skinned demagogues, dictators and degenerates who dare to constrain their ability to practice their art.
The exhibition will also feature a competition for upcoming Kenyan cartoonists which will be open to students in primary, secondary and tertiary institutions who are yet to be published.
Selected cartoons will be put on display at the Alliance Francaise and will be published in a catalogue.
