Freedom of Expression is central to ARiF’s practice. Organised through Toons Mag, the exhibition invited cartoonists from around the world to address the stakes of an independent voice.

The project received 1,556 submitted cartoons from 518 cartoonists in 83 countries. It was inaugurated in Drøbak, Norway, and later presented in Lillehammer, Prešov, Košice, Bangalore, and at the Slovak Embassy in Oslo.

Each exhibition is a meeting point: a place where drawings can cross languages, make room for disagreement, and invite people to think together.
