Winners of the International Cartoon Contest "Humor Sapiens 2024"/Chile

At the Colegio Colonial de Pirque in Santiago de Chile, one of the sponsors of the Humor Sapiens Contest, the award ceremony and the opening of the cartoon exhibition took place.

The theme was “Technology and Education,” and it had two categories, one international and one school-based, aimed at students from schools throughout the country.

The First Prize went to Arístides Hernández “Ares,” from Cuba;

The Second Prize, to Oleksiy Kustovsky, from Ukraine;

and There was an Honorable Mention for Constantín Pavel, from Romania.

In an exclusive statement to MUNDIARIO, Arístides Hernánez (Havana, 1963) said: “I drew a 42 x 29.7 cm caricature using a very traditional technique: ink and watercolor on cardboard. I did not want to approach the subject of new technologies with a viewpoint in which a negative perception predominated. Most of the works I see on the subject are of machines that control human beings or addicted children and things like that. I made a drawing in which technology functions as a base, support and aid to an education that does not abandon the traditional resources of learning: reading, writing, individual study...”.
