Brazilian cartoonist: Art is a tool for raising awareness against the lies of global powers / Iranian short film shines at U.S. festival

Pars Today – Brazilian cartoonist Carlos Latuff emphasized that art is not merely a reflection of reality but also a weapon to counter the distortions and lies propagated by mainstream media.

Carlos Latuff, the Brazilian cartoonist and caricaturist, who has created numerous works during events such as the Zionist regime’s attacks on the innocent people of Palestine and Gaza, is regarded as one of the most active artists on the theme of resistance.

His works carry anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, anti-globalization, anti-capitalist, and anti-oppression messages, and they often focus on the struggles and resistance of the oppressed people of Gaza as well as on the covert policies of the United States and Zionists.

According to Pars Today, Latuff, in an interview with Mehr News Agency, spoke about the role of artists in the face of imposed wars, cultural colonialism, and soft power.

In this interview, he emphasized that art is not merely a reflection of reality but a weapon to counter the distortion and lies spread by mainstream media. Latuff believes that art should serve as a tool for resistance, raising awareness, and combating the falsehoods created by global powers.
