An exhibition showcasing a selection of South African artworks from the apartheid era is currently on display in Johannesburg to commemorate 30 years since the country's transition to democracy in 1994. These artworks, which were previously housed in foreign art collections, offer a poignant reflection on the struggles faced by the Black majority during the apartheid regime.
The pieces, many of which were taken out of the country by tourists and diplomats who visited the Australian Embassy in Pretoria, highlight the impact of racial segregation policies and the daily challenges experienced by South Africa's Black population. The exhibition also features works by contemporary artists, providing a diverse perspective on the country's history and evolution.
