The National Council of Visual Arts (CNAP) of Cuba has officially launched its global call for entries for the 2nd International Biennial of Political Humor, inviting artists, illustrators, cartoonists, and humorists worldwide to submit works that critically examine globalization and its multifaceted impacts through satirical expression. The submission window remains open until March 31, offering a platform for creative commentary on contemporary global phenomena.
Prospective participants must deliver their digital submissions in JPG format, meeting specific technical requirements of 300 dpi resolution with maximum side dimensions of 2400 pixels. All entries must be sent to the official biennial email address, bienalhumorpolitico2cuba@gmail.com, accompanied by comprehensive documentation including the creator’s full name, artistic pseudonym, country of origin, work title, complete residential address, email contact, and telephone number.
An expert jury will evaluate all qualified entries to select three primary prize winners, with all decisions rendered as final. The most exceptional and representative pieces will receive prominent display in the main exhibition alongside complementary collateral shows throughout the event. Selected artworks may additionally feature in various promotional materials and official biennial publications, with full attribution to the originating artists and strict adherence to intellectual property protections.
Organized through a collaborative effort between Cuba’s Ministry of Culture, the National Council of Visual Arts, and the cultural publication La Jiribilla, the biennial will incorporate both visual exhibitions and theoretical discussions. The programming will include specialized panels addressing pertinent issues within cartooning practice and the biennial’s thematic focus on globalization, creating a multidimensional dialogue between artistic expression and critical discourse.
