The team from the International Humor Exhibition of Piracicaba will start 2010 without the number 10 shirt. According to information received by e-mail, Zetti, coordinator for over 20 years of the event, received an official statement of the Secretary of Culture Rosangela Camolesi excluding Zetti of Coordination. And from the days 31, Zetti no longer be the general coordinator of the event.
The Brazilcartoon falou Zetti. Leia o que disse Zetti.
Zetti spoke by telephone the brazilcartoon.
To she it surprise because she did not expect this kind of attitude and “recognition”.
Are 30 years of dedication to the Hall

“The Hall of Piracicaba is part of my life. It is a love that has lasted 30 years. When I started, I became fascinated by the colorful designs, the mood of the participants and the deep messages designed.
I like to be present at all stages of the hall, but one of the best moments is when I get designs from around the world and began to open the packages. I feel as if they were packages of gifts. I recognize that the event is of great cultural importance. Organized annually with much care and dedication. International Humor Exhibition of Piracicaba is one of the most important events in the world.
deeply regret having to get away from the conviviality of graphic artists and can no longer contribute to the organization and success of the International Humor Exhibition of Piracicaba. I really do not know what will happen to me in 2010, “concludes Zetti.
Experience and credibility
Zetti know the essence, the cultural, the social, political, and free expression of ideas and trends that the International Humor Exhibition of Piracicaba offers graphic artists, cartoonists and the public yet.
Over the past 30 years, he held management positions in the first halls of humor and from the creation of the Department of Cultural Action, gave him experience and training to take the lead in the organizational structure of the internationally renowned Salon de Humor de Piracicaba.
With all this accreditation, Zetti Ali served as a key to the success of artistic, cultural and organizational event until the 2009 edition. With his removal from office of Director of National Center for Research, Documentation and Dissemination of Graphic Humor de Piracicaba, everyone loses.
Fight for the recovery of Graphic Humor
Zetti showed that, regardless of the problems, financial constraints and political influences that the hall has faced throughout its history, it was always on the side of good humor, the defending event and its continuity, and above all, defend the cartoonists involved.
Today she is loved and respected by all. She won the confidence of names like Ziraldo, Lan, Angeli, Gualberto and a handful of cartoonists assembled. Zetti became an important reference for all who have participated in the event.
MANISFEST
Brazilcartoon recognizes the importance of the work of Zetti and expresses support for her stay in the coordination of the Hall also asks all cartoonists to submit cartoons, caricatures and cartoons with expressions of support. All drawings will be posted in the Gallery Special “Zetti.

New Delhi, Jan 1 (IANS) It took the 1-2-3 agreement “to draw him out”, and quite fittingly the Kerala Cartoon Academy has prepared a coffee table book with caricatures from 123 cartoonists, ranging from Raj Thackeray to R.K. Laxman, for the usually reticent Prime Minister Manmohan Singh when he comes visiting over the weekend.

The unique New Year gift weighs five kilograms and will be presented to the prime minister on Jan 3 at the Raj Bhavan in Thiruvananthapuram by the Kerala Cartoon Academy, an association of more than 100 cartoonists that is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

Amongst those who have contributed to the tome are E.P. Unny, Ravi Shankar, Ajit Ninan as well as politicos like Raj Thackeray, chief of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, Communist Party of India-Marxist’s M.M. Monayee and Muslim League leader M.K. Muneer.

“These cartoons had a common factor – Dr. Manmohan Singh; as protagonist, antagonist or even as a victim,” said a Kerala Cartoon Academy statement.

Academy secretary Sudheernath added that the “non-demonstrative Dr. Singh was no cartoonist’s delight”. But the signing of Indo-US civil nuclear deal, which prompted the Left parties to withdraw its support to the first United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, changed all that.

“It took the 1-2-3 Agreement and nuclear energy to draw him out. Literally,” Sudheernath told IANS.

“His turban, which became the nuclear orbit in many cartoons here, his square face, thick eyebrows, thin beard, spectacles, pullover, white kurta and pajama – finally a vivid enough picture emerged of the man who is our prime minister,” said Sudheernath, a Delhi-based cartoonist.

The Kerala Cartoon Academy, in collaboration with the Indian Cartoonists’ Association and the Press Club of India, had organised an exhibition of 123 caricatures of Manmohan Singh at the Club premises here in February last year.

“This bunch of 123 cartoons and caricatures is a chronicle in its own right, of an atypical PM’s political awakening,” said the Academy.

Manmohan Singh’s personality, responses, attitude and above all his politics come alive here, said Sudheernath.

He said the Kerala cartoonists “brainstormed” about the appropriate gift to be presented to the prime minister when they invited him as the chief guest for the valedictory function of the academy’s silver jubilee celebrations.

“First we thought of giving 25 cartoons to the PM. When we sent word to brother cartoonists, the response was overwhelming. To the nuclear PM no less than 123,” he said.

Sudheernath said 63 cartoons in the book were from Kerala-based cartoonists who were members of the Academy and the rest from other states; there were a few from overseas as well.

A couple of NRI cartoonists and two woman cartoonists complete the lot.

Manmohan Singh, who begins his two-day Kerala visit Saturday, will be inaugurating the 97th Indian Science Congress.
