パトリック・シャパット：漫画の力

Cartoons have the unique ability to spark dialogue and break through barriers, even in places torn by conflict or censorship. In divided societies like Ivory Coast and Lebanon, bringing cartoonists from all sides together led to honest, sometimes heated collaboration, but also to new understanding. Cartoons have fueled controversy and even tragedy, as seen after the Danish cartoon crisis, yet they also hold power to heal and illuminate. As technology and corporate platforms control what is published, the freedom to challenge, criticize, and connect through cartoons becomes ever more vital.
