Ali Ferzat, Syrian political cartoonist

August 29, 2011 by Fosco Lucarelli 3 Comments

Syrian satirical cartoonist Ali Ferzat was beaten up and got his hands broken as a warning to stop his caricatures.

Following the request by Marco Dominici and Paolo Interdonato, we publish a selection of his works, in order to show the vacuity of the violence that was inflicted upon him.

“Although the cartoons of Ali Farzat above all address local issues, their visual vocabulary makes them universally appealing and relevant. Farzat utilizes all that he has to hand and takes it as far as possible to create a space for social comment and debate. His pointed caricatures, published in the domestic and foreign press, inspire his readers to reach sincere interpretations of their daily lives and to consider politics, economics, and society from new angles.”
