Rencontre avec Kianoush Ramezani

Image
Le lycée Joliot Curie à Rennes, a reçu le caricaturiste de presse iranien Kianoush Ramezani le vendredi 25 février 2011. Il est venu rencontrer les élèves de seconde européenne dans le cadre de l'opération "Renvoyé spécial". Organisée en lien avec la Maison des journalistes et le Clemi (Centre de liaison de l'enseignement et des moyens d'information), cette initiative avait pour objectif de sensibiliser les lycéens sur la liberté d’expression et le pluralisme dans les médias. Après avoir rappelé son parcours professionnel et les difficultés à exercer le métier de journaliste en Iran, Kianoush Ramezani a expliqué aux élèves le sens de certaines de ses caricatures. Attentifs aux explications données par leur invité, les lycéens ont fait preuve de curiosité en lui posant de nombreuses questions, entamant ainsi un véritable échange. Exilé en France et pris en charge par la Maison des journalistes à Paris, Kianoush Ramezani a fui son pays pour échapp...

Ali Farzat, One of the best-known cartoonists in the Arab world, has been beaten up by Syrian security forces

Cartoonists are dangerous for dictatorship systems, dictators afraid of the power of cartooning, that's why there are many cartoonists in exile, in prison, tortured or even murdered. Ali Farzat has been beaten by Bashar Asad in Syria...

Interview de Kianoush Ramezani, initiateur et commissaire de l'exposition « L’Exil » à la Maison des Journalistes (3 mai – 3 Octobre)

Image
Comment vous est venu l’idée de cette exposition ? Réaliser une exposition de dessins de presse était la meilleure chose que je puisse faire au regard de ma situation. J’ai donc suggéré le thème de l’exil à la Maison des Journalistes. J'ai ensuite contacté par mail des amis artistes, leur demandant de me dessiner et de m'envoyer leurs dessins sur le thème de l'exil. Après avoir reçu plus de 100 œuvres de 50 artistes, j’en ai finalement retenu 40. Je fus confronté au problème du lieu de l’exposition.

Avec ce concept, la partie extérieure du bâtiment de la Maison des Journalistes devient une galerie d’exposition, ce qui attire le regard et les passants tout en animant la façade. Par ailleurs, j’avais informé des organisations internationales...
