The text with this cartoon runs: ‘Europe faces an unprecedented influx of migrants, but fences will not stop people from looking for a better life.’ Agim Sulaj spent the first 33 years of his life in Albania, where he worked with the political and satirical magazine Hosteni and developed his ‘hyper-realistic’ style. Following the demise of the Stalinist regime in Albania, Agim exhibited his work in 1993 to great acclaim in the Italian city of Rimini, where he has made his home ever since. He has since won many international prizes and recently exhibited his work in Paris and London.
