The 6th Edition of the Fartoon - Faro International Cartoons Show, promoted by FARO1540 - Association for Defense and Promotion of the Environmental and Cultural Heritage of Faro, will be subordinated to the theme "Think Freedom, Build Democracy". This event, which has become a landmark in the cultural landscape of the region, will take place in the context of the 50th anniversary of April 25, 1974, a historic moment that returned freedom and democracy to Portugal.
The theme of this edition invites artists from around the world to reflect, through humor and creativity, on the importance of preserving and caring for democracy. More than a celebration, the festival is an opportunity to reinforce democratic values and principles and foster intergenerational discussion on the future of this vital achievement.
At a time when the world faces new challenges to fundamental freedoms, it is essential to remember the legacy of April 25 and the collective commitment to affirming democracy as a pillar of society. Fartoon emerges as a platform for reflection and expression, where the art of cartoon acts as a universal language capable of raising awareness and uniting different generations around a common cause.
“This year, more than ever, we want to emphasize the importance of taking care of our democracy so that it stays alive and strong for generations to come. Cartoons have an essential role in helping us reflect on these issues in a critical way, but also with lightness and humor," emphasized Paulo de Oliveira Botelho, President of the Faro1540 Board.
Since its first edition, Fartoon has promoted freedom of expression and creativity through graphic humor, featuring artists from various countries. This year, the festival is expected to bring together dozens of works that address the theme "Think Freedom, Build Democracy", offering the audience a unique experience of art and reflection.
