The 24th PortoCartoon World Festival 2022, Portugal: Education and Gender Equality

24th PortoCartoon World Festival 2022, Portugal

General Rules and Regulations

1 Main Subject EDUCATION AND GENDER EQUALITY 

Quality Education and Gender Equality are the UN bets to improve the world. 

With these themes, corresponding to the 4th and 5th SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), PortoCartoon calls once again the artists to two fundamental concerns for the future of humanity. 

Education continues to be a factor in the expression of inequalities, with around 260 million children unable to attend school, especially in the southern hemisphere, especially in countries in central Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. This is a drama with great implications for the future of these countries. The UN goal is to access inclusive, quality and equitable education and to promote lifelong learning opportunities for all by 2030. 

In terms of Gender Equality, the situation is more serious: 2.8 billion women and girls live in countries that do little to eliminate the discrimination they face. 

This will be one of the most lagging global goals, relative to the international commitment (signed by world leaders in 2015) to ‘social development’ by 2030. 

Education and Gender Equality converge in dramas and need answers on a global scale. 

Humor can be a good contribution. And so the challenge is given to the sharpened pencils.

2 SPECIAL AWARDS FOR CARICATURE 

GRETA THUNBERG (2003- ) became known worldwide, after going on strike in front of the Swedish parliament, in 2018, in defense of the climate. She was 15 years old and, with the plaque “School Strike for Climate”, promoted a campaign that had a global effect, inspiring thousands of young people around the world. In December 2018, more than 20,000 students – from the UK to Japan – joined her, going on strike at classes to protest the lack of environmental protection measures. A year later, Greta Thunberg receives the first of three Nobel Peace Prize nominations. She faces powerful leaders, make engaging speeches, unsettle the installed power. “Everything remains the same and everything is blah blah blah,” she said at COP26 (Glasgow, Nov. 2021). 

GAGO COUTINHO (1869-1959) was a Portuguese Navy officer, geographer, historian, mathematician and aviation pioneer. In 1922, he carried out the first aerial crossing of the South Atlantic, connecting Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, together with Sacadura Cabral. With this they earned them international notoriety. In addition to several cartographic works, he developed navigation devices, such as the sextant with an artificial horizon. Known as the “precision astrolabe”, the device was internationally registered as “System Admiral Gago Coutinho”. In 2022, the centenary of this Air Crossing joins the bicentennial of Brazil’s independence. Is there another better opportunity to choose this personality?

The color catalog of The Best Cartoons of Nippon 2021, Japan

Received today the color catalog of the International Cartoon Festival in Saitama 2021, Japan. It was the 31st year of the festival in 2021. I participated in the event with two cartoons of mine, one on the theme KENKOU which means "Health" and the second one of FREE THEME. Works on both themes by 44 Japanese and 50 foreign artists are included in the catalog of the exhibition that took place at Plaza North in November 2021. 

Saitama City is the place where Rakuten Kitazawa - the father of modern cartoon in Japan - spent his later years. The Saitama Municipal Cartoon Art Musem in the home to Kitazawa in his later years hold the Saitama-City Rakuten-Kitazawa Manga Awards competition each year. In 2021 they held the 36th edition and the winning cartoons are included in this collection book of "The Best Cartoons of Nippon" which are also displayed on the museum website here.
The standard A4-sized (21x29.7 cm) catalog of "The Best Cartoons of Nippon 2021" has 108 pages, about 70 of them covering the color and the monochrome cartoons participated in the festival and selected for the catalog. The remaining pages are the lists of the Japanese and the Foreign artists with their personal histories in both English and Japanese. With the help of this perfectly designed book of art, it is possible to compare the style and wit of the native and overseas manga/cartoon artists and enjoy the great humour in their works.
From Turkey are six cartoonists whose cartoons published in the catalog; namely, Erdoğan Başol, Hüsnü Berkalp Üstün, Kamil Yavuz, Kemal Özyurt, Musa Gümüş, and Seyit Saatçi.
Thank you to the festival organizers and the staff of Plaza North who sent me this great collection of manga/cartoon art.
