"The Postcolonization of cartoonists"

Cartoons in Greece as the Junta years ended

Story at EFSYN

Brief article on the role of cartoons (and cartoonists) as the Junta military dictatorship of Greece was drawing to and end in 1974, and then abruptly stopped with the return of the exiled leader Karamanlis who flew into Athens from Paris and began the modern chapter of democratic rule (once again) in Greece.

The article at EFSYN is in Greek, you can go here to translate the page into English - Google translate.

Looking one by one at the hundreds of cartoons from that critical period (July 1974 - August 1975), we find an unprecedented breath of freedom in the form of spontaneous humor. Despite the different approaches, from the radical left to the conservative anti-junta right, for the first time since the war of 1940, a consensus prevails: condemnation of the junta, deepening of democracy and of course "fire squad" against the then most hated person in Greece, Henry Kissinger..."

"The Postcolonization of cartoonists" is the title of the exhibit presented at the garden of the Presidential Palace. A larger retrospective exhibition to appear at the Syntagma metro October 14-19 is curated by the Greek Cartoonists Club "under the auspices of the President of the Republic, Mrs. Katerina Sakellaropoulou."
