In their creations, contemporary artists frequently criticize our flawed system. Gunduz Agayev is one of those artists, and his work often speaks for itself; without saying a single word, the artist flawlessly communicates the harsh truth surrounding our world.
With that being said, Gunduz isn't scared to voice his thoughts at all. He has always spoken out against injustice in his home country of Azerbaijan. Agayev was forced to flee his country in 2014 owing to political pressure from the government. He did, however, keep doing what he does best: drawing brutally honest cartoons with a healthy dose of reality.

This is sad because the Native American were very warm to to the pilgrims and they betrayed there trust
After King Philip (a native American) helped the pilgrims, they cut off his head, and put it on a pike in front of their plantation for 20 years. Check Wikipedia.

I didn’t know that! And yet, Native Americans are still treated shamefully by the government and their neighbors.
Load More Replies...I am outraged about the treatment of Native Americans, Black people and those of Asian descent in this "greatest country in the world," by people who seem to think that the lily-white color of their skin makes them superior to any other race.
For those who are unaware, the Covid pandemic was mishandled by pres.pig s**t. He is the reason so many people in the US died. He insisted that this was just another little flu that happened every year and was no cause for concern..it would be gone when the weather warmed up! What a fool! Then on LIVE TV he suggested that we should be injected with BLEACH!! He had the audacity to call it the China flu when in reality it should be known as the tRUMP flu. One more thing. EVERYTHING made with the tRUMP name on it is made in CHINA! THINK ABOUT IT.

i dont get what the scales symbolize? and the man with the sword?
I feel like pUten & tRump are punishment from Mother Earth. We destroyed her, so she cooked up these two vile creatures and set them loose. I do have a vivid imagination😱
sAME WE ALL DIDN'T Do SOMETHING We need to come toOUR SENSE
Load More Replies...Idk what this represents, but the gore factor is hella cool. I love that in art
I think it can be interpreted a number of ways. I interpreted it as the world or the people of Ukraine telling Putin to "f*k off" and stop spreading his hate and lies.
Load More Replies...They all are if you look closely. It just looks like peace symbol or other fingers if you look quickly.
Load More Replies...I'm not up to date on politics, but is that the president of Hungary or Belarus? Orbashanko or something like that...
I imagine that this person is screaming, "I want to speak to your manager!"
They also screaming, "Not my President", "You're homophobic because I don't like YOUR opinion", or "I will leave this country if I don't get my way (but never leave)!"
Load More Replies...The audible outrage of being forced to wear a mask they cannot "see" (hence mask over eyes)
I'm not super familier with the bible, but I think that's the guy who betrays Jesus.
Load More Replies...Everyone who wants their picture taken come around to this side of the table!
Load More Replies...Jeff...they all upset me..... and some of them are not clear to me what the message is.
Load More Replies...The cowardly Belarus "president" Alexander Lukashenko (mustachioed fingers) using asylum refugees from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraqi Kurdistan as cannon fodder by lying to the refugees and pushing them to the Polish border in an attempt to overload the EU.
Load More Replies...Many journalists have to go to jail in some countries because some countries live on Fake News.
Load More Replies...You should understand Rene Magritte reference first, then go from there.
I'm sorry, I don't understand, what does this mean? What's the purpose of the hammer and sickle?
The hammer and sickle are representative of the communist and Soviet regime that many people suffered under. This looks like it could symbolize people breaking free of communism.
Load More Replies...Corona is demolishing everything in it's path, and now it will come for the fluffy panda :(
Fun fact: panda means everything in greek language
Load More Replies...Actually Covid was great for the environment. People stayed home, traffic and pollution decreased and plants and animals flourished.
I'm not certain that's what this artist was trying to convey with all the spike proteins under the panda.
Load More Replies...The panda is chilled because he has Covid to send out. Pandas are from China.
No it's meant to represent how quickly we forget and move on as though it never happened. Out of sight, out of mind.
This directly references the dead refugee child washed ashore a couple of years ago - and a white child unknowingly/unthinking/uncaring parents holidaying on his grave.
When Putin decided to invade Ukraine, he bit off more than he can chew. I think he thought it would be a walk in the park and got his a*s handed to him.
this one upsets me- not because of the message, that one IS sad, but the needle. its- eugh...
As Einstein said, “the fourth world war will be fought with sticks and stones”
If nuclear war breaks out, we’re back to the stone ages.
Load More Replies...Since Putin loves war so much, maybe we should send a few rockets to him. His palace would make a very nice target.
I think it's a reference to David and Goliath, since David was so much smaller and could only defend himself from imminent death with a rock
You mean “I know not what world war three will be fought with, but I know world war four will be fight with sticks and stones?”
Load More Replies...You think stuff is expensive now? Boy howdy, it’s gonna go through the roof in awhile. Between Covid & pUten, we are scr*wed!
Putin is supposedly purposely bombing and burning the crops now so get ready for that huge jump in prices.
Load More Replies...I wonder when the Russian people are going to rise against this monster?
You mean protest on the streets and get tortured for that at? Oh, wait...
Load More Replies...We can only hope. And make deals with your chosen magical entity. Cross your fingers. Yeah, why not?- go ahead & pray too!
That is unrealistic as the guy would probably refuse to wear PPE. Especially if he was a social media surfer. He wouldn't have believed in the pandemic.
People really are the virus. We multiply like rats and then destroy things like the wildfires we caused
I just can't believe that us humans are destroying our own kind like wtf
As the world is dying, we still get stupid fashion ideas because people think they are cool. (What I think)
You don't think it might have anything at all to do with cars? Smog?
Load More Replies...Too much going on here. And is this a gender reverse role? Don't men usually get access to button pushing? Idk...idk...why is there a spot light shining at her feet/ high heels?
This is my ONLY "social media" outlet, here on Panda. Social media becomes a Matrix. You're stuck constantly to your phone. You forget what the clouds move like or how birds chirping sounds. Constant chaos at your fingertips. Through time human interaction which should be normal seems so odd. I'd rather talk in person than over a platform any day.
No Social Media on my phone. I am not carrying it with me all the time. BP and Quora on my PC only so I am not 'on' all the time. We ALL need to unplug more.
Load More Replies...Social media isn't inherently evil, the way some people use it is the problem. The military stationed me thousands of miles away from my friends and family, and social media is one of the few ways I can stay in regular touch with them.
I actually connect to others using these platforms. Am i using them wrong?
We are willing to make enemies of our friends if even the slightest thing happens to our *beloved* social media
This looks misrepresentative. The photographer (Kevin Carter) for the real photo did indeed wait for the right shot. The child's parents were nearby collecting food from a UN plane. When he took the photo he then chased the vulture away - it didn't get closer than about 10m. Carter, an experienced photojournalist in some of the world's most dangerous areas, committed suicide in 1994, haunted by his experiences and his own situation of poverty. Carter was viciously criticised for teh photo, but for me the despicableness comes not in the recording of suffering, but for turning a blind eye and "shooting the messenger" who insists we look.
Oh my god. This is so sad. The horrors this world has committed can never be forgotten
Load More Replies...After he took the photo, he chased off the bird and carried the boy to get help. It was too late for the child. The vulture didn't get closer than he is in the original photo. The photographer later committed suicide.
By taking pics reporters are helping the starving children way more than just donating some money.
Load More Replies...The guys on the back represent us, staying in our couches complaining about everything (should I stop)
Suggest you watch A Century of War free with commercials on Crackle app which is free to download on google play store. It's a great documentary and explains what's happening in the United States and the world and offers some hope as far as solutions...it's really good. So catmandu..if you see this reply, please go ahead and watch that movie. Its worth it! The title threw me off but I did eventually watch it and I wish I had watched it earlier. It's an eye opener and makes a lot of sense and explains things that I for one didn't even realize had anything to do with urban decay got example. But it really makes sense. Hope you see this and hope you watch the doc. If you do, or if anyone does, feel free to let me know your thoughts. My email is iamnancydee@gmail.com

A mindless fool stumbling around stomping on precious things. Wearing an expensive suit & tie naturally. Jim
More worried about selfies than what's happening outside of social media
Wait, what do Daft Punk have to do with Covid? Forgive my ignorance lol
We're too busy living off the smoke inside when we dont see the people working hard to extinguish the fire outside
I dont know why someone downvoted you, theres nothing wrong with your comment.

It’s because most of Americas movies are primarily watched by China (who’s run by the CCP) and so our movies bend to make them happy.
Load More Replies...is this about how things are said to be authentic but are only a scheme for money?
Who else wishes they could just go live naturally in the forest and have blueberries as currency ;w;
I live in a large forest in Colorado without the need for money. I use solar panels that are protected by bulletproof glass that my mom helped put together before she died of corona. I eat food out of my vegetable garden and the eggs from my chicken coop. I have two wonderful dogs that eat a natural, plant-based diet from another garden. I use mostly candles for light to save electricity for the winter. I read all the time. I draw with charcoal on wooden slabs. I cut down one tree a year for the wood needed for furniture,b drawing, and repairs to my cabin, bit plant tree more saplings. I have an indoor fireplace and an outdoor fireplace. I'm Asexual so that's that. I have a filter straw that you can clean without replacing anything. And use water from a fast River that never freezes. I go to the bathroom outside in a holeb that i change each week so it turns to soil. I have many blankets that i got maybe twenty years ago. It's wonderful. My only electricity needs? Heater, and phone charging.
Load More Replies...When I grow up I will just run away and stay someplace safe and sane. Far from the madding crowd.
Totally ambivalent for me. Some of them are totally correct, but in some i see deep misunderstanding. But nobody is perfect, so anyway, great job :)
