The Corazon Verde Foundation, in partnership with the copyright holders of Mafalda’s creator Quino and artists, brought sculptures to El Dorado Airport. The exhibition began its tour at El Dorado and will stay there until May 27.
Fans of the inquisitive and quick-witted girl who used humour and irony to call for greater democracy, posed with the 14 sculptures distributed throughout the airport.
The sculptures will be offered for sale and auctioned for charity organised by the Corazon Verde Foundation, which supports the families, widows, and orphans from Colombia’s National Police.
Quino created Mafalda, an Argentine girl of about five or six with bulging black hair and strong political views. The cartoon was eventually published in 27 languages.
He was able to use Mafalda’s apparent innocence to spread scathing criticism of the dictatorships that plagued Latin America from the 1960s, including Argentina’s 1966-1973 military dictatorship. – Report from Reuters
