SICARFEST 2020

Semarang International Cartoon Festival 2020, Indonesia

SICARFEST #1 2020 (Semarang International Cartoon Festival) was held in 2020 by the Visual Arts Department, Faculty of Languages and Art, Universitas Negeri Semarang (Unnes). The theme of this exhibition is Educational Cartoons for COVID-19. All artists from all over the world are expected to contribute to educating the society about the importance of maintaining health by adhering to the existing health protocol regulations during COVID-19. 

This theme was determined by the concern of the Visual Arts Department, Faculty of Languages and Art, UNNES about the spread of COVID-19. Inevitably education will provide understanding to students to be more aware of implementing healt protocols. Through education, students will also mentally and physically be trained to be more immune to COVID-19, so online education must still be done. For this spirit, the Visual Arts Department, Faculty of Languages and Arts, UNNES held the SICARTFEST #1 2020 event to educate and entertain the society through cartoon exhibitions.

"STOP ONLINE BULLYING... The Universal Message of Solidarity"

The third humanitarian initiative - Norway 2020

"STOP ONLINE BULLYING... The Universal Message of Solidarity"

Bullying happens to everyone, stoppable by everyone. 

What is Bullying? 

Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power, which distinguishes bullying from conflict. Behaviors used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets. Rationalizations of such behavior sometimes include differences of social class, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, appearance, behavior, body language, personality, reputation, lineage, strength, size, or ability. If bullying is done by a group, it is called mobbing. 

Perhaps one of the most important types of bullying that we suffer from is Online bullying. 

Online bullying is bullying carried out through the internet or mobile devices. 

Online bullying is also sometimes called cyber bullying. 

Online bullying can include the: 

sending insulting or threatening messages 

posting unkind messages or inappropriate images on social networking sites 

excluding others from online chats or other communication 

inappropriate image tagging 

sharing someone's personal or embarrassing information online 

creating hate sites or starting social exclusion campaigns on social networking sites 

sharing unflattering or private images, including naked or sexual images 

assuming the identity of another person online and representing them in a negative manner or manner that may damage their relationship with others 

repeatedly, and for no strategic reason, attacking players in online gaming. 

Rules: 

- Each Participant Can Send Up To 3 Cartoons.
