Plaza del Adelantado

Description

This exhibition, developed by SPIROU Magazine, one of the leading European comics publications, in collaboration with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, brought together great comic book talents to illustrate the thirty articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted on December 10, 1948 by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris. 

Through the visual and accessible language of comics, the exhibition seeks to bring these fundamental principles closer to the public, encouraging reflection on equality, justice and human dignity. 

The exhibition combines art and social commitment to raise awareness about the importance of knowing and defending one's rights. The cartoons, full of creativity and critical insight, transform human rights into a relatable, universal, and relevant message.
