Cartooning for Peace / “Decoding the stars” goes around Wallonia

“Decoding the stars” goes around Wallonia

Created by Cartooning for Peace and the European Commission, the exhibition “Decoding the Stars” presents with humour and irony, through caricature, the issues that have fed European politics for more than half a century. In a few images, in a few bubbles, the designers highlight the concerns of citizens. This ode to diversity and tolerance brings out the debate around 15 major themes, including Europe and economic growth, Europe and Africa, freedom of expression, the death penalty and European youth.

50 press cartoons thus confront themselves with the ideals of those who dreamed of yesterday’s Europe: Victor Hugo, Robert Shuman, Louise Weiss, Jean Monnet…and today’s: Daniel Cohn-Bendit, Kofi Annan, etc..

Throughout the month of May, “Décoder les étoiles” tours Wallonia, from Liège to Mons via Verviers, on the occasion of Europe Day!
