The exhibition O humor unido jamais será vencido: os cartoons da Revolução (1974 – 1976) [Humour united will never be defeated: the cartoons of the Revolution (1974 – 1976)], curated by historian Paulo Jorge Fernandes, opened on 17 December at the Bordalo Pinheiro Museum.
As part of the commemorations of the 50th anniversary of 25 April 1974, and using mainly cartoons published in the press at the time, the exhibition ‘seeks to take a good-natured look at a turbulent period in Portugal’s history by showing selected cartoons from the vast graphic work of artists who took advantage of the end of censorship to show other angles of observation, both critical and amusing, on the events to which they were privileged witnesses’.
With works by authors such as António, Cid, João Abel Manta, José Vilhena, Sam, and Vasco, the exhibition includes around 130 cartoons and drawings and is organised into three sections: ‘The protagonists of the Revolution’, ‘East wind vs. west wind’ and ‘Propaganda and ideology’. It can be visited until 9 March 2025.
