NEW YEAR’S AND CHRISTMAS GREETINGS
*****
Dear friends, welcome to the exhibition of New Year and Christmas greetings from cartoonists and fans of cartoons from home and around the world.
As you will soon see for yourselves, this exhibition mirrors the events of the past year 2023. The world has once again and continues to face many crises and conflicts that have claimed human lives, suffering and insecurity. The ongoing war in Ukraine, Israel’s new war with Hamas, the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, the humanitarian crises in Congo and Yemen are just some more examples of bad developments in the world. At the same time, we have witnessed the increased threat of climate change, which has caused extreme weather events, droughts, floods, fires and water shortages in many regions.
On the other hand, 2023 has also brought many good news and achievements. In many cases, we have witnessed exemplary empathy, mutual aid and solidarity making life easier for the sick and suffering. In the field of science and technology, we have seen unprecedented discoveries and contributions that help us to improve quality of life, health, education and communication. In the field of culture and the arts, we have enjoyed a rich harvest of visual arts, films, music and literature that have delighted, encouraged and inspired us.
Dear friends, 2023 was a year full of contrasts, which once again convinced us that the world is definitely not black and white, but multi-coloured. Just as the cartoons and cartoons we bring you in this exhibition are colourful. Among them are works that are sharply satirical, mercilessly critical, but also drawings that are funny and full of optimism, wonderful greetings from artists who try to capture the essence of everything that is happening around us.
We invite you to look at them with us, laugh and reflect. And together with them, we wish you all the best for the New Year 2024. May it be filled with peace, love, health and happiness.
And may it also be full of good cartoons.
