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.
