Dear
Cartoonist Friend,
Cartoonists all around the world participated to the international
cartoon festivals which were organized by Active Philosophy-Yeni Yuksektepe
Cultural Association in Istanbul in the recent years. The first festival’s
subject we arranged was mixed(1997); the second festival’s subject was “East
and West”(2000); the third festival’s subject was “Water and Life”(2003), the
fourth festival’s subject was “Global Warming”(2005), the fifth festival’s
subject was “Intercultural Tolerance”(2007), the sixth festival’s subject was
“Energy”. We organized 7th Cartoon Festival in Eskisehir in 2012
with the subject “Philosophy” with the collaboration of Anadolu University
total 38 countries, 561 cartoonists, 1651 cartoons. Finally in 2014 we
organized 8th Cartoon Festival with the theme “Voluntariness” with
the collaboration of Anadolu University. (45 countries, 163 cartoonists, 511
cartoons)
9. International Eskisehir Cartoon Festival is organized by Active
Philosophy - Yeni Yuksektepe Cultural Association and Eskisehir Metropolitan
Municipality.
The theme of the ninth International Eskisehir Cartoon Festival is
chosen as “World Heritage“.
SUBJECT: “World Heritage” 3-D documents that define
collective memory of humanity. Monuments, buildings, archaeological areas,
ceremonies, rituals, traditional dances, local productions, elements that
constitute the richness of world heritage could serve as the subject.
Wars that continue in different areas of the
world, global climate change and natural disasters increasing in number in
recent years, threaten the cultural heritage that inspires the humanity and
lead to loss of collective memory.
AIM: To “create an awareness” in the society regarding the
protection of Cultural Heritage which is in danger due to natural disasters,
global climate change and wars; to “encourage thinking” and the most important
of all to “produce a want to contribute”.
We Active Philosophy - Yeni Yüksektepe Cultural
Association and Eskisehir Metropolitan Municipality, expect talented cartoons with the subject “World
Heritage” from all cartoonists.
The cartoons to be exhibited during the festival
in Eskisehir will also be exhibited in other branches of our association which
are in other cities of Turkey such as Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Adana, Antalya,
Van, Bursa, Izmit, Mersin, Aydın and associations in abroad which collaborates
