#khartoon - Graveyard highway - so many Sudanese have lost their lives on the desert route between Sudan and Egypt since the war in Sudan and the restrictions the Egyptian government have put in place, many of them older men and women who can't handle the dangerous driving - since the smugglers drive so fast they have to tie people to the back of the pickup and if you fall they leave you behind. There are now 8 million displaced Sudanese and the war is not close to an end.

How To Win at TikTok (According to TikTok)

TikTok is not a social media platform. It’s an entertainment platform. That’s how Khartoon Weiss, TikTok’s Global Head of Agency & Accounts, described the world’s most downloaded app at The Gathering, an annual business and marketing summit held in Banff, Canada. What’s the distinction? People don’t “check” Tiktok. They watch it. And, Weiss says, “that small pivot in behavior is…

Unique shirt steals show at NYC Colin Kaepernick rally

NEW YORK – While there were many signs, slogans and symbols present at Wednesday’s “United We Stand” rally for Colin Kaepernick outside of NFL headquarters, one shirt in particular caught the collective eye of the Internet.

The shirt, which features a kneeling Kaepernick with a black fist fixed atop his head like his signature Afro, is titled “I’m With Kap, Just-Us” and is the creation of 36-year-old creative director Milton Dodson and Middle Eastern political cartoonist Khalid Wad Albaih.

“We wanted to make something that people could resonate with and understand exactly what the movement was about at a time when the Black Power fist is symbolic,” Dodson, who is based out of Atlanta, told Yahoo Sports.

Kaepernick’s likeness and message aren’t just symbolized on the shirt, as the company that sells it, Black Ivy The Brand, contributes to charitable causes with each shirt that is sold.

“We just started selling it, but the shirt was designed over a year ago,” Dodson said. “A portion of all proceeds of the shirt go to foundations and organizations that contribute to fighting these civil crimes against humanity.”

While Dodson said the shirts sales have not exploded, it’s likely after Wednesday’s rally, where more than a dozen activists and organizers donned it, that supporters of Kaepernick will be clamoring for it.

“[We’re] Still in the hundreds … for now,” Dodson said.

On the website where the shirt is for sale, Albaih, who according to his Twitter account is based out of Qatar and founded “Mr. Khartoon!”, writes: “The Black Ivy Brand felt it was important to extend ourself to a cause we feel passionately about such as the Colin Kaepernick protest against the wave of police brutality sweeping the nation.”

In total, there are eight versions of the shirt, in both men’s and women’s styles featuring the former 49ers quarterback in both his home and away jerseys and range from $30 to $35 per shirt.

Two images I'll never forget. The baby on the left was rescued from rubble in Syria and he was bloody and beat up and the baby on the right was found was washed up ashore after him and his family tried to escape Syria but their boat capsized. The biggest problem there is there's no means to an end and neither side seems to care who is caught in the middle. It's just all bad but it's important for EVERYONE to know what is happening and the truth. #DoSOMETHINGForSyria #Repost @khalidalbaih ・・・ #Khartoon - #Choices for Syrian Children ... #Syria Omran Daqneesh 5 years old from #Eleppo #Syria was pulled from under the ruins after Russian air strikes, 3-year-old Syrian Aylan #Kurdi drowned in the #Mediterranean trying to get to #Europe

What is Art Without Freedom of Speech?

In Blouin’s Modern Painters, I report on Qatar’s complex and contested art scene:

...one of the boldest
 artists in Qatar is, in fact, an unassuming cartoonist. “Basically, I live two lives,” Khalid Albaih told me. By day, Albaih directs public installations for Qatar Museums, gargantuan sculptures in the airport or urban roundabouts. By night, when his children are in bed, he draws political cartoons, or Khartoons, as he dubs them. 
His work was on display at the Doha branch of Virginia Commonwealth University, an art and design school in Education City, where Koons had lectured a day earlier. I led a public conversation with Albaih; he was candid about the limitations he faces, such as the country’s cyber-crime laws that prohibit the “spread of false news” and violations of “social value,” among other vague measures. Likewise, Albaih knows certain public figures are off-limits. Yet he finds ways to slip in dissent. In one cartoon, bullets face off against pens. In another, a military official and a man in traditional dress chase a man whose head is a shining lightbulb. “Censorship does really make you more creative,” he told the couple dozen students and faculty in attendance...

Albaih’s work questions the very circumstances of suppression and the utility of social media, the primary platform for sharing and consuming his art. Albaih has thus far gotten away with his illustrated critiques of authority, though he did mention that at times friends and colleagues have told him to tone down his work. “Censorship doesn’t only exist here in this region; it’s wherever you go,” he told the audience at VCU. For instance, when the Times profiled him in 2013, the paper declined to include any of his cartoons about Palestine in the article or accompanying online videos.

Khalid Albaih's cartoons have appeared in demonstrations throughout the Arab world; in exhibits in the United States, Sweden, India, and the UAE; in countless newspapers; and on his Facebook page, Khartoon! The School of Public Policy at CEU is exhibiting eight of Khalid's cartoons in the Octagon on June 2-7.

American artist Christopher Biasiolli selected the eight cartoons: children crossing, Pinky & the Brain, Bashar's Victory, Mrs. Miracle, Madaya, counting immigrants (to sleep), U-turn, and alphabet.

Khalid is donating half of the proceeds from the sale of the prints to Migszol, the Migrant Solidarity Group in Hungary. If you are interested in purchasing a print, email spp@ceu.edu and include Khartoon! in the subject line.

You can download the exhibition catalogue here.

In Sudan though,it's totally different. People are very tired after 40 years of war. And that's one reason for people questioning why the revolution did not succeed in Sudan, even though there were three attempts in the last three years. Many people got arrested and many people got killed by the government forces. I think the Arab Spring would have succeeded in all the Arab countries, with the dictators who have been there for 30-40 years if [Libya's former President Muammar] Gaddafi didn't stay as long and fight back. Because Gaddafi fought, then [Yemen's former President Ali Abdullah] Saleh fought and [Syrian President Bashar al-] Assad is still here.So now people are scared of the mess and chaos and this is what these guys are betting on. This is what [Sudanese President Omar] al-Bashir is saying all the time in Sudan, you know: 'You want chaos, is that what you want? We'll give you that. If I leave then what?' But I think it's going to happen; sooner or later it's going to happen. It's going to collapse.
