Entries are invited from the artists around the world to participate in the II International Graphic Humour Salon of Pernambuco (SING-PE) to reflect their ideas about Human Rights and Thinkers through cartoons and caricature contests.
The themes of the II International Graphic Humour Salon of Pernambuco (SIHG-PE) are Human Rights and Thinkers. The idea is to put Human Right issues such as violence against women, ethnic discrimination, homophobia, religious intolerance, children’s and adolescents’ exploitation and political persecution at the centre of discussion. Not leaving aside the guarantee of individual freedoms, the right to come and go and the polemic about privacy between the public and private.
