Under the slogan “Less Fake and more News”, the 24th edition of the International Biennial of Graphic Humor began this Sunday in the town of San Antonio de los Baños, with the creation of an allegorical mural and the opening of a collective exhibition.
The Biennial will extend this Monday from its epicenter in the Artemisa province to a Havana gallery to exhibit the international exhibition promoting peace in Gaza, which will gather 60 works by 58 authors from more than 30 countries, as announced by the organizers of the appointment.
The agenda of the traditional event until next Wednesday includes other exhibitions, as well as workshops, book presentations, parade, tributes, and a contest of the International Hall in which 233 works compete in the categories of general humor, political satire, humorous cartoon, personal cartoon and humorous photography.
The appointment will close in the so -called graphic humor with the delivery of the Eduardo Abela Grand Prix, the three awards for each category, as well as the collateral awards, and those of the children’s contest ‘We always laugh’.
This edition of the Biennial is dedicated in 2025 to the Cuban artist Manuel Hernández, awarded the 2024 National Plastic Arts Award, who has interpreted in his work the imaginary of the Cuban peasantry from his paintings, ceramics and cartoons.
