A sense of humor can be helpful during crisis times. In light of the tumultuous events the country has experienced -from the political and social fragmentation to Covid-19- cartoonist Alajili Elabidi set up a cartoon gallery hoping it would help quell tension. The exhibition organized by the Libyan Association for Plastic Arts was inaugurated on Saturday at the Art House of Tripoli under the theme "Satirical Diaries" and will run until April 1. Elabidi indicated, in statements to The Libya Observer, that his art addresses the political and social aspects of society through humor and satire. In his artwork, Elabidi invites visitors to make sense of humanitarian issues through different conceptualizations, including peace, immigration, injustice, freedom of expression, wars, and hunger.
