The world Cartoon Festival on “Applying Arts and Culture in Silencing the Guns in Africa”
“Silencing the Guns”, aims to promote prevention, management and resolution of conflicts in Africa. The over 1000 artworks from around the world have been judged by five International jurors from Italy, Mexico, Cuba, Kenya, and Iran and three main international winners and three Kenyan winners have been chosen.
The festival launched in December 2020 continued till July 2021 which culminated with a closing ceremony and opening an exhibition which will travel to other capitals around the world to convey the messages of cartoonists on silencing the guns.
