SCOPE OF WORK AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Mandela: Struggle for Freedom – Summary
The work described may change via amendment as the project requires.
Mandela: Struggle for Freedom is a travelling exhibition developed by the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) in collaboration with the Apartheid Museum in South Africa. It opened June 8, 2018 and after its presentation in Winnipeg, MB will tour through North America.
The exhibition path includes five chapters or zones:
Apartheid: In the unjust world of apartheid, segregation dictates all aspects of ife. Black, white, Indian, coloured: categories divide communities in school, church, business, and all aspects of life.
Defiance: A young black man, Nelson Mandela, intent on challenging the racist regime that imposed apartheid, leads others in peaceful acts of defiance against the apartheid state.
Repression: But a decade of peaceful actions for change is only met with more repression and violence. Mandela and others are arrested, put on trial, and condemned to life in prison.
Mobilization: People in South Africa and around the world mobilize against this brutal regime. The country becomes ungovernable. Nelson Mandela, neither broken by his imprisonment nor forgotten, enters into talks with the apartheid state.
Freedom: Mandela is freed in 1990. But Black South Africans remain unfree. Mandela dedicates the remaining years of his life to dismantling of the inequalities of apartheid, becoming the first president of a democratic South Africa in 1994, and fostering reconciliation.
Scope of Work
The CMHR requires printing including pre-press for the bilingual publication for the Mandela: Struggle for Freedom exhibition.
