Perspectives on Freedom

The cartoons in this collection were selected by the National 4 and 5 May Committee in the Netherlands. In 2011, we did a project titled 'Freedom Worldwide' to show different perspectives on freedom. In 2012, the project 'Freedom from Generation to Generation' produced cartoons that show how the concept of freedom changes over time and between generations. Although perspectives on freedom may differ, and the concept itself may evolve, its urgency and importance should never be forgotten. The selected cartoons are used to promote Liberation Day (May 5th), and to remind the Dutch just how special and important the freedom is that they have enjoyed since the end of the Second World War in 1945.
