20th International Satire Exhibition "Trento between reality and madness" - Italy

Subject: Italian Land

On 2 August 1847 the Austrian chancellor Klemens von Metternich, wrote: "The word Italy is a geographical expression..."
After 13 years Italy became a State despite the skepticism of those who pretended to forget that the word "Italy" to the greatest artists of Europe meant more than just a geographical oddity, but represented civilisation, knowledge, culture, art and all the highest expressions produced by humans throughout history.
The most enlightened leaders of world culture, for centuries, considered the "Grand Tour", travelling in Italy, as an essential step in their education and training.
What remains today, after 150 years of that hope to merge the different souls present on the peninsula called Italy and the desire to make a single witness and continuation of the immensity of which we are custodians of gifts?
Our review of XX satire is devoted to a discussion on Italy, which for us is first of all, cultural identity, identity that we feel, every day, in danger of extinction.
We are dealing with a world that continually sacrificed in the name of globalising short term illusions, that wealth of knowledge built with slow wisdom from those who lived with the thought, turning to us, to the future.
To you, to your poetic, ironic, irreverent, bright, satiric ferocity, pick these signals, the thoughts and emotions related to the land of Italy and represent them in terms of your art and your land.

Exposição Internacional de cartoon
“ Exploração e direitos dos trabalhadores, olhar crítico a traço de humor”
“Num momento em que, a pretexto da actual crise, se intensifica a exploração e o ataque aos direitos dos trabalhadores para prosseguir com a acumulação de lucros escandalosos por parte dos grupos económicos, o PCP desafiou a Humorgrafe a colaborar numas jornadas de reflexão com a colaboração cartoonistas e caricaturistas de vários pontos do globo e de diferentes opções políticas e ideológicas para que, a partir da sua própria reflexão filosófico-humoristica, possam participar nesta iniciativa - Exploração e direitos dos trabalhadores pelo traço do humor - com o seu trabalho artístico sobre as grandes questões que hoje atingem milhões de trabalhadores em Portugal e no mundo: o desemprego, os baixos salários e o trabalho precário.”

a) O Partido Comunista Português, em colaboração com a Humorgrafe, prepara uma jornada de esclarecimento sobre os direitos dos trabalhadores.
A luta pela dignidade do trabalho, a exploração de milhões de seres humanos e os lucros escandalosos dos grandes grupos económicos, o aumento do desemprego e o rasto de destruição social, a luta dos trabalhadores como factor de ruptura e mudança da vida dos Povos, são elementos incontornáveis quando olhamos para o mundo em que vivemos.

Convidamos os cartoonistas de todo o mundo a meditarem sobre vários temas dentro desta área designadamente: precariedade no trabalho como factor de regresso a um passado sem direitos; salários baixos versos salários milionários para os gestores e lucros escandalosos; desemprego e o seu rasto de pobreza, destruição de riqueza e capacidade produtiva.

b) Cada artista pode participar até 4 trabalhos a preto e branco (uma cor)enviados por e-mail (300 dpis – jpeg) para humorgrafe_oms@yahoo.com.
