Organised by the Atlas Caricature Association (AAC) and the weekly Le Canard Libéré, this edition revolves around the theme "Food security: the world is hungry for great resolutions".
More than 411 caricaturists representing countries from all over the world, including 30 Moroccans, are participating in this festival with a collection of more than 1,200 works exploring the theme of food security. This event highlights caricature as a powerful tool for expression and reflection on major issues, such as climate change and armed conflicts.
Portugal, guest of honour for this edition, enriches the event with its artistic contribution. The Festival Director, Naji Benaji, recalled that this event aims to promote the art of caricature and press cartoons while raising awareness of issues of global interest.
Through its rich and varied programme consisting of screenings, training workshops, and friendly meetings,
The FICA is the essential place for meetings between young and old, professionals and amateurs, and great names in caricature. Having become an important appointment in the global caricature agenda, the FICA has managed to acquire the maturity that has allowed it to rise to the forefront of events dedicated to caricature in Africa and the world. At each edition of the FICA, the artistic direction addresses a particular theme through which famous caricaturists are honoured.
The programme thus includes exhibitions in Morocco, a cycle of debates, meetings, exhibitions, and workshops to sensitise children to the language of images and national and international competitions. This rich and varied programme offers the Moroccan public unique opportunities to meet and exchange with renowned artists and speakers, guests of the festival.
Since 2017, the city of Agadir has hosted the International Festival of Caricature in Africa (FICA). This cultural event, which takes place over 3 days, is organised by the Moroccan satirical weekly Le Canard Libéré in collaboration with the Atlas Caricature Association (AAC) and the Moroccan Caricature Association (MAC).
