This is not Europe!

The opening of our new exhibition “This is not Europe!”, co-produced with the Mons Memorial Museum, took place in Mons on February, Saturday 20, in the presence of Harlem Désir, Secretary of State for European Affairs, Elio di Rupo, Burgomaster of Mons, and cartoonists Joep Bertrams (The Netherlands), Cristina Sampaio (Portugal), Mikhail Zlatkovsky (Russia), Plantu (France), Cécile Bertrand, Vadot, Kroll and Marec (Belgium).
The curator of the exhibition is Cartooning for Peace’s Vice president Nicolas Vadot. “This is not Europe!” will be displayed at the Mons Memorial Museum from 21 February to 26 June 2016.

In response to crisis that Europe is facing today, editorial cartoons are powerful tools to open debates and promote tolerance. At a time when the European Union is going through many crises, the exhibition will help visitors discover the take of cartoonists on our society, through humor, irony and emotion, thanks to 120 international cartoons.
