Vishavjit Singh’s Car­toons, Tur­bans & Con­fronting Hate

 -  -  99


Pol­i­tics and so­ci­ety fail mankind. Artiste and Sikh Cap­tain Amer­ica Vishavjit Singh ex­hibits Sikhtoons in Seat­tle from 4 May to con­front hate-mon­gers.

The Sikh Cap­tain Amer­ica, the tall lanky Sikhtoons cre­ator (www.sikhtoons.com), the pub­lic speaker im­part­ing tol­er­ance skills to stu­dents and oth­ers -Vishavjit Singh beck­ons you to visit his first car­toon ex­hi­bi­tion in Seat­tle be­gin­ning 4 May with the open­ing re­cep­tion in the evening of 3 May at Wing Luke Mu­seum of the Asian Pa­cific Amer­i­can Ex­pe­ri­ence at the Seat­tle Cen­tral Li­brary.  Read­ers in the US are in­vited to reg­is­ter for the events at this Face­book event page.

When pol­i­tics fails, art takes over. When De­moc­rats and Re­pub­li­cans fail, Michelle Wolf is needed to hold the mir­ror. Post 1984 and then post 9/​11, Sikhs needed Vishavjit Singh to laugh, to en­ter­tain and to ed­u­cate Amer­i­cans about who the Sikhs are. Michelle Wolf and Vishavjit Singh con­quer hate in their unique ways. Wolf strikes in the heart till it bleeds and Vishavjit Singh spokes your mind and soul.

Wolf stares at you from tele­vi­sion screens whereas Vishavjit Singh, hurt by the ha­tred of 2012 at­tack on a Gur­d­wara in Wis­con­sin which killed Sikh wor­ship­pers, came down to the streets as Sikh Cap­tain Amer­ica. Tall, lanky, flow­ing beard et al, un­afraid of “what peo­ple would say” made peo­ple look up to him and forced them to think.   

Speak­ing to WSN, Vishavjit Singh said that, “Car­toons, Tur­bans & Con­fronting Hate is an ex­hibit of my car­toon art jour­ney fol­low­ing the tragedy of 9/​11 at­tacks.” World Sikh News ex­horts read­ers to visit this story-telling mu­seum which will in­still hope and de­mol­ish ha­tred.Vishavjit Singh

 If you like our sto­ries, do fol­low WSN on Face­book.

When he stood out­side of White House on In­au­gu­ra­tion day of US Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump he had sur­mised that the road to de­mol­ish ha­tred is long and ar­du­ous. Hate pol­i­tics causes a nasty tur­bu­lence. Aware­ness and amuse­ment and not anger can con­quer it. In­deed! Visit the ex­hi­bi­tion which is to run till Feb­ru­ary 2019 and spread the cheer to dis­arm hate mon­gers.
