II International Exhibition of Graphic Humor of Pernambuco
Derechos Humanos y los Pensadores
Dibujantes de cómics del mundo, únanse en torno al II Salón Internacional de Humor Gráfico de Pernambuco (SIHG-PE), enviando sus trabajos para que sean expuestos en galería y catálogo y competir por los premios.
El II SIHG-PE pretende colocar, a través de metáforas discursivas elaboradas por el lenguaje del Humor Gráfico, cuestiones que se encuentran bajo el paraguas de los Derechos Humanos. Temas como la violencia contra la mujer, la discriminación étnica, la homofobia, la intolerancia religiosa, la explotación del niño y adolescente, la persecución política y el trato a los refugiados, entre tantos otros que serán escrutados por una multiplicidad de miradas sobre el Planeta, a través de los artistas de sus continentes. Únanse a favor de la lucha por la garantía de las libertades individuales, por el derecho de ir y venir, de tener voz, de tener un hogar, un trabajo, además de ocio y educación.
En este Salón, los caricaturistas se inclinarán ante la figura de los Pensadores, considerándolos, además de filósofos de todos los tiempos, las personas que a través de sus obras, defendieron puntos de vista sobre problemas sociales, políticos, económicos y culturales, que de algún modo, han contribuido a hacer del mundo un lugar mejor y más justo para la vida en sociedad.
El pueblo de Pernambuco recibirá de brazos abiertos los trabajos, a los visitantes de todos los rincones y, particularmente, a los miembros del jurado, que gentilmente aceptaron nuestra invitación para abrillantar la fiesta del humor con una muestra de sus creaciones y la elección de los premiados. ¡Manos a la obra!
