29th - 31st March 2017

Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto

Die Finissage der Karikaturen-Ausstellung zu Presse und Zensur im Vormärz (Sammlung Ante) bietet die letzte Gelegenheit, sich die ca. 150 Jahre alten Originalkarikaturen anzusehen, die bis heute nichts von ihrer Häme und ihrem Spott verloren haben. Die Kritik an der Obrigkeit, der Wunsch nach Pressefreiheit und nationaler Einheit wird humoristisch und pointiert in den Lithographien dargestellt.
