Artworks reflecting past injustice and the current struggles for freedom and democracy will be selected from the Museum’s permanent collection. Selected works will include works where artists have used their work to talk about the state of emergency, Bantu education, the harsh conditions of mine workers during Apartheid and other important injustices from the past. Contemporary works will include reflections on corruption, social issues like HIV/AIDS and access to resources. The Art Museum has engaged the assistance of the Nelson Mandela University Law Department to assist with a selection of reported cases which will link the themes of the artworks on display to the bill of rights and to specific cases showing law in action past and present.
