Building A Wall To Break Down Barriers

It began as the shared dream of some NGOs – Europeans Without Borders, Cartooning for Peace, Reporters Without Borders – but soon found the hearts of young volunteers, many from underprivileged neighbourhoods outside Paris. Following their example, we will cover walls in cartoons to raise awareness of the importance of press freedom.

Contributors draw on paper or send us images, we print these and paste them up on two walls – one for professional cartoonists from many countries, the other local and visiting children.

This project is undertaken in cooperation with the Architecture At The Edge and Baboró festivals. Beginning on Culture Night with a chidren’s drawing workshop, it will continue through all three of our festivals and reach completion one month later.
