André Carrilho é finalista do European Cartoon Award com “Gaza, para a História do Horror”
Analysis: Recently named a finalist for the European Cartoon Award on October 22 and Grand Prize winner at the 2026 World Press Cartoon exhibition, André Carrilho’s illustration depicts a young Palestinian child in a blood-stained white shirt with an amputated arm and leg, leaning on a crutch atop a museum pedestal alongside Classical statues with broken limbs, while silhouetted visitors casually photograph the child. The cartoon delivers a scathing indictment of a “supposedly civilized” Western international order that treats ongoing civilian devastation in Gaza as a passive, aestheticized spectacle rather than intervening to halt the violence. Strategically, the work highlights the deepening moral and diplomatic rift between Western capitals and international public opinion over unconditional backing for Israeli military operations.
