Call of exhibition European Cartoon Center Kruishoutem

The European Cartoon Center Kruishoutem – Belgium (www.ecc-kruishoutem.be) is organising an exhibition ‘Passing the (invivsible) Red Line’ – about censorship in the cartoonworld.

For that exhibition – we are seeking cartoons that have sparked controversy due to various reasons.

These reasons include threats to the cartoonist, which may come from the public or the government, cartoons for which cartoonists have been arrested or imprisoned, cartoons that have been censored, cartoons that have led to the dismissal or banning of the cartoonist from publishing in certain media, or cartoons that have been censored by platforms like Instagram or Facebook.

In addition to the cartoons, we want to talk about the stories behind the controverse, so we need to have documentation about each work that is disposed.

This is a worldwide call to all cartoonists, and we are specifically looking for works from the 21st century.

Please contact info@ecc-kruishoutem.be before the 1ste of June 2025 to provide your cartoons and documentation
