A day without laughing is a day lost.
Charles Chaplin
The cartoon covers many nuances and critical situations of the human being in their relationships with others and with their environment, these situations include what is a reason for academic attention for the University. We turn to caricature for its universal language, for its power to communicate and change the heavy into the light.
From the National University of Colombia, Medellín Headquarters we offer a space for the academic community and society in general: The First CartUNAL World Cartoon Exhibition.
We invite you to this meeting that widely summons cartoonists from around the world to present unpublished works that invite you to discuss, reflect, create and propose on a topic of global relevance: Peace.
