Support Gerador in building a more creative, critical and participatory society. Find out how here.

When constant attacks seek to erode trust in journalism, Horizontes Vivos brings together the journalistic community to reaffirm ethics as the guarantor of its strength and independence from public and private powers, and to strengthen copyright as a way of protecting journalism from disinformation narratives..
Over the course of two days, between 14 and 15 November 2025 at the Goethe-Institut in Lisbon, the program combines practical workshops with masterclasses, debates, live podcasts, and an exhibition by cartoonist Nuno Saraiva, always in a stimulating and open-minded environment where you can also make new contacts.
Entry is free, subject to registration below.
This is an initiative by Gerador, organized in partnership with the Goethe-Institut in Lisbon, with the support of Visapress.

Exhibition of Cartoons from "The Public Enemy" by Nuno Saraiva
Cartoons occupy a historical place in the press, combining humor and criticism in their commentary on current events. Through drawing and irony, cartoonists reveal contradictions, expose abuses of power, and invite the public to reflection and critical thinking.
This exhibition presents four cartoons by Nuno Saraiva, selected by himself and published in O Inimigo Público, the satirical supplement of Expresso. For each work, it is possible to see the original, in pencil and India ink on paper, the digital final artwork, and a copy of the page from O Inimigo Público, published in the weekly newspaper Expresso.
