Colorfulworld - A Colorful Human World” International Cartoon Contest & Exhibition, Norway 2018

What A Colorful Human World!?

“It was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair”, Dickens wrote. Words, we recognize only too well. Or rather, we instantly recognize the despair, seeing it in the eye of refugees, who travel across the sea in spite of the danger, because staying would be infinitely more dangerous. We see the refugees, who never make it to Europe, drowning in the attempt, and those who make it ashore, only to be met with hate speech and the suspicion that they are extremists. Mainstream media are stimulating that populist speech, which incites hate, while right-wing parties everywhere in Europe are calling on the nation-state and closing of the borders to the exclusion of others. There is always some “other” to blame for everything. In fact, our societies consist of many “others” at the risk of a situation of fracture in which everyone is made scared of one another. Cartoonists have an important task at hand, and The International Cartoon Contest & Exhibition 2018 invites all cartoonists to make us forget to be scared and find different ways of (re)connecting. Cartooning at its finest is a spring of hope. It gives us ways to critically rethink and find alternatives to bridge the “us” and “them”. We get to see the human in the other. Differences in culture or language are no longer too strange or too much to take in. We see that differences are what make for a colourful world. We deserve to be living in a colourful human world and The International Cartoon Contest & Exhibition 2018 invites all cartoonists to take part to make it a reality.
