XX||| 23 PORTO CARTOON WORLD FESTIVAL
General Rules and Regulations (cont.)

MAIN THEME: H E A LT H  

Placed as the 3rd SDG (Sustainable Development Goals), in 2015, HEALTH is today the main pillar for the defense of humanity. COVID-19 – a virus without borders and still uncontrollable – has become the “main threat to the world security”, according to the UN General Secretary, António Guterres.
The fragility of the health services, in dozens of countries and regions of the world, and the lack of water and sanitation, has aggravated the people capacity for health defense. Epidemics claim millions of lives. Vaccines are a sign of hope, but again the poorest are the most unprotected.
Even with so many speeches for equality, the tragedy seems to continue.
And it is necessary to prevent the spread of the virus from being aggravated by the proliferation of misinformation.
In this context, the role of wise and beautiful humor is central and irreplaceable.Therefore, PortoCartoon chose H E A LT H as the main theme for 2021

SPECIAL AWARDS FOR CARICATURE   MARIA JOÃO PIRES (1944- )
The pianist Maria João Pires is a prominent artist in classical music. She came to be recognized internationally when awarded with the first prize of the international competition of the bicentenary of Beethoven in 1970, in Brussels. Her career includes numerous tours, interpreting works by Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Schubert, Mozart, Brahms, Chopin and many other composers.
Invited by the great world orchestras, she performs regularly in Europe, Canada, Japan, Israel and the USA.
“Her way of playing the piano has often been described as magical, captivating and deeply poetic” (Deutsche Grammophon).Being a dreamer she created a unique work in the relationship between music and nature: Belgais Arts Center (Portugal).
MARTIN LUTHER KING (1929-1968) had a special dream: to create a world of peace for blacks and whites, with freedom and justice.
Because of that he was murdered at 39. His dream remains alive, which many want to see dead.
He was a human rights martyr, like others who had followed him, Luther King was one of the first political figures in the United States to express himself, clearly, against racial discrimination. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi and Henry Thoreau’s theory of civil disobedience, he advocated a peaceful and without weapon fighting.
In 1964, he received the Nobel Prize for Peace, becoming at that time, the youngest winner of such an award.
The nowadays situation in the world, the frequent violation of the Human Rights and the need for social transformation for a better and free world for all races – especially the most segregated ones – give relevance to this choice of PortoCartoon 2021.
Luther King deserves a special gallery. Likewise, his utopic dreams.
