December 2010. Mohamed Bouazizi, young Tunisian of 26 years old, set himself on fire in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia. This desperate act is the start of protest movements that spread through Arab world in 2011 ; revolutions against dictatorships also known as the Arab Spring.
Drawing is always the expression of a revolt, most of the time the expression of population’s revolt. The “DÉGAGE !” book compiles sketches on unprecedented revolutions in the Arab world in 2011.
