Freedom of Expression

International political cartoon exhibition and contest When an individual’s freedom and human rights are abused, when «alternate facts» abound in public spaces, when information is subdued and the abuse of power takes place, satirical illustrators have a role to play. Their task is to reveal, expose to ridicule, uncover, and insult. In many countries this is done at their peril, where they risk their lives in the name of satire. Freedom of expression is under attack in many countries, and political illustrators are being extremely affected. This exhibition has been produced in collaboration with cartoonist Arifur Rahman from Bangladesh, who has himself been a victim of torture and imprisonment for his drawings. Via his online magazine «Toonsmag. com» illustrators around the world have been invited to participate in this exhibition. For many illustrators, online-based channels are the only outlet for publication. Vigdis Wolden Curator

“Freedom of expression is not only one of the basic human rights; it is the foundation for all of them, not in the least the freedom of religion. The price we must sometimes pay, is that we might feel offended.” Per Edgar Kokkvold

My reflexion on freedom of speach Freedom of speech – freedom of expression is a basic human right. It gives you the opportunity to express an opinion in any form, in any media without being censored. But “free” doesn’t mean that it comes without sacrifice. Freedom of expression can be difficult to achieve and protect. It demands awareness to understand the value, and acknowledgment of the responsibility needed to protect it and practice it. Freedom of expression is not just a written word, it also defines actions. In some countries the freedom of expression is oppressed or limited. But at the same time there are countries that consider this freedom as the basis for all human rights, including freedom of religion. If you plant a tree, and don’t give it the freedom to grow up, and you cut its branches, ultimately it is not going to be a normal tree. It is going to be a bonsai tree. We are not trees, we are human beings, but the principal is the same. As a human being, we all deserve the rights of freedom of speech – freedom of expression. We should all be free to think whatever we like, and we all should have the rights to express our thoughts and opinions. There is a word call ‘unlimited’. I very much disagree with it. I think nothing is unlimited in this world. I think freedom also has limitations. With “freedom” follows the responsibility for showing respect towards yourself and towards others, and their rights as well. Arifur Rahman
