Four cartoonists about the undeclared Third World War

Today, while spending the afternoon at the Teatro Puccini waiting for the dance show to begin, I was happy to find out that the theatre was hosting a free exhibition of original drawings by Altan, Ellekappa, Sergio Staino, and Vauro wholly dedicated to how migrants are welcomed in Italy.

The drawings exhibition is titled “Migrants and Robbers”, and subtitled “Four cartoonists about the undeclared Third World War”. Started on March 25, 2017 it will end on April 28, 2017. The entrance is free during the opening hours of the theatre.

Through satire, the four cartoonists undoubtedly succeed in displaying migrants’ experience of racism and discrimination in Italy. Here we smile, but there is nothing to laugh about.
