The official catalog for the 9th International Cartoon Exhibition in the Croatian city of Čakovec has now been released, showcasing the powerful theme chosen for this edition: "Stop Violence Against Women".
🎨 Artworks… Between Grandeur and Depth
The artworks featured in the catalog reflect a high level of artistic execution and a deep, shocking human vision, they do not merely protest violence, they expose it, strip it bare, and condemn the collective silence surrounding it.
These are works of great artistic and emotional depth, choosing to be mirrors to pain rather than masks for it. Here, cartooning becomes an act of moral interrogation, not a decorative wall piece, but a challenge to the global conscience, each drawing bears its unique mark, launching a bold artistic cry that demands an end to violence and a world where women can live with dignity, love, and without fear.
🖋️ The Catalog… A Document of Conscience
This catalog is not merely an art album, but a collective document of conscience, reflecting how artists from around the globe confront one of humanity’s deepest wounds, it includes the winning works, selected highlights, the names of the international jury, and an editorial foreword that underscores the exhibition’s core message.
From Serbia to Iran, from Poland to Russia, artists — both young and seasoned, stood united, proving that a pen can be mightier than a whip, and more eloquent than speeches.
