Caricature exhibition conveys a message of peace and tolerance

The Alameda Shop & Spot inaugurates a virtual exhibition themed ""Nelson Mandela da Caricatura Internacional", on 1st September. The exhibition displays 40 caricatures in the framework of the international competition PortoCartoon-World Festival. 

This is a tribute to the Nobel peace laureate of 1993, Nélson Mandela, and it is especially relevant to convey a message of tolerance against racism.

Visitors can appreciate 40 caricatures of Mandela by artists from Germany, Brazil, Colombia, India, Iran and the winner of the competition, the Portuguese illustrator André Carrilho, whose work is most published in the foreign press.

This exhibit is held in the framework of the PortoCartoon World Festival and the caricatures are part of the Special Caricature Prize 2019, which was organised by the National Press Museum (NPM).

A protocol was celebrated between the NPM and the Shopping Centre so as to create an Art spot" and to showcase twelve PortoCartoon exhibitions.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Art Spot Gallery, at the Alameda is still closed for on-site visits; therefore, exhibitions by the National Press Museum and Portocartoon are available in a virtual format.
