2nd EXHIBITION OF GRAPHIC HUMOR - SPAIN

The Valencian Journalists Union (Unio de Periodistes Valencians - UPV) organizes the 2nd EXHIBITION OF GRAPHIC HUMOR in collaboration with FECO-Spain and with the sponsorship of Caja de Ahorros del Mediterraneo (CAM). The aim of this exhibition is to emphasize how important graphic humour is to freedom of expression. Graphic humour is a journalistic genre highly charged with denunciation and civic compromise, which contributes to the reflection and to the action, waking up consciences with a smile against the depredation of the Earth.
