Cartoonist Quinho Wins Award in Turkey with Cartoon on Gaza

Brazilian cartoonist Quinho's talent and critical voice have gained international recognition. He recently won a prize in the prestigious international competition "Teste da Ummah: Gaza 2025," held in Turkey, with a powerful cartoon about the situation in Gaza.

The award-winning work carries a powerful message, denouncing violence and occupation. In his statement accompanying the cartoon, Quinho stated:

"Even if the State of Israel and the United States carry out their infamous plan of extermination and theft of Palestinian land—building, on the blood of thousands of children, the so-called 'Riviera' (already cursed!) promised by Trump—the truth is: invaders will always be invaders. But the heart of the Palestinian people? Their roots will FOREVER be in Gaza. The world watches, without acting, this brutal holocaust."

Quinho's victory puts Brazilian political cartooning in the spotlight on the global stage, highlighting the power of art as a tool for denunciation in the face of serious humanitarian conflicts. The award recognizes not only artistic quality but also the courage to address an issue of extreme sensitivity and global urgency.

The news reinforces the fundamental role of artists in exposing difficult realities and challenging international inertia in the face of crises.
