Satire

Started in 2019, the Satire Fest is our newest addition to the different festivals IRC organizes annually. The concept behind Satire Fest is to bring together Pakistan’s most preeminent editorial cartoonists and artists from traditional and novel art branches. The themes of the festival revolve around concepts such as the role of art as a medium of transformation, adapting to the new age of digital media, the often forgotten yet significant role of the artist in a society and devising ways of survival for an artist in a rapidly changing country. The festival also provides a platform for the artists to showcase their work such as paintings, sketches, visual illustrations and cartoons.  The art exhibitions are held at the Maati Gallery, and are open to public viewing.
