MAIN THEME HUNGER, POVERTY, INEQUALITIES
From 2020 on, PortoCartoon will tune its main theme with major UN concerns for the next decade. The structuring themes of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will allow new humorous approaches.
For 2020 we chose SDGs 1, 2 and 10 for their thematic articulation: Eradicate Hunger and Poverty, Reduce Inequalities.
According to some statistics, half of the world’s population is poor. Wealth is concentrated in very few people (82% of wealth is in the hands of 1%). “Tax havens” remain a source of corruption and inequality. True (and curable) cancer of humanity!
Humor, as a rich instrument of democratic awareness, has a wide field of action in these times of greed, populism and fanaticism.
People deserve the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to be the regulatory document of the societies.
PortoCartoon wants to contribute to this.SPECIAL AWARDS FOR CARICATURE
ALBERT EINSTEIN (1879-1955)
stood for world history as a “synonym for genius.” Time magazine named him in 1999 as the 20th century figure for being “the greatest physicist of all time”. In 1921, the Swedish Academy awarded him the Nobel Prize in Physics, highlighting “the discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect”. His name was given to schools, research centers, streets and awards. The Albert Einstein Peace Prize is one of them and shows how his aura far surpassed the scope of Physics. A century ago, in 1920, a spread of his famous Theory of Relativity began in the worldwide press. From the same time is the Einstein cigar (USA) that was shown in other major initiatives.

CHICO BUARQUE (1944- )
received in May 2019 the Camões Prize and continues to build the history of Brazilian music and literature. Besides being one of the exponents of Brazilian Popular Music, Chico Buarque has guided his life by democratic ideals. During Brazil’s military dictatorship (1964-1985) he went into exile in Italy and became one of the most active critics in defense of democracy. He collaborated in the humorous newspaper “O Pasquim” (1969-1991), in its first issue in June 1969. Being a singer and songwriter, Chico Buarque is also a play writer and actor. Before the Camões Prize, he received two Jabuti Prizes (2006 and 2010) and the Portugal Telecom Prize for Literature (2010).
