A display window for the most critical artistic proposal
This year at Rototom we are on for new different artistic proposals, critical and committed to the reality that surrounds us. And we do it through the most cambative scenario of these times,thanks to Leo Bassi and Xavi Castillo; but also for the most satyrical, subtle and scoffing graphic humor, the one of the authors of "El Jueves" magazine.
The basis of this project
The manifestation of this big collective project wouldn't have been possible without the collaboration of numerous associations and ONGs like, among the others, Greenpeace, Movimiento Contra la Intolerancia, Acción Contra el Hambre, Amnesty International, Federación de Asociaciones Cannábicas (FAC), Movimiento 15/M di Castellón, committed in environmental sustainbility, fight against intolerance or reports about violation of human rights; all these organizations, just like Rototom, work hard day by day to make the world a better place.
