Pretoria – The Struggle t-shirt exhibition will open at Freedom Park today.
The exhibition showcases t-shirts depicting several messages from the struggle era. The aim is to educate South Africans about the struggle for liberation and how it resulted in an inclusive democracy and nationalism in 1994.
The mobile exhibition, hosted in collaboration with the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Arts, Culture, Sports and Recreation is designed to freely travel around the country and internationally.
The exhibition is also known as SAY-IT-BY-WEARING-IT. A successful run was done at Moses Mabhida Stadium in KZN, and the exhibition is currently being done in Ultrecht in KZN.
It is expected that it will go across the entire country after its official launch. A book has also been produced as an accompaniment of the exhibition.
The Department of Arts, Culture, Sports and Recreation developed the concept to educate the youth born after 1994 (born-frees) how freedom and democracy were achieved.
The exhibition is also aimed at encouraging the youth not to become complacent and to fight against the scourge of entitlement, and to appreciate that rights come with responsibilities. – SAnews.gov.za
