Although the cartoons of Ali Farzat above all address local issues, their visual vocabulary makes them universally appealing and relevant. Farzat utilises 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.
