Born Free: Generation of Hope – A Powerful Portrait of South Africa's Democratic Generation

Loading player...
To mark 30 years of democracy, the Nelson Mandela Foundation, in partnership with the Apartheid Museum and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, presents Born Free: Generation of Hope — a compelling photographic exhibition by award-winning Dutch photographer Ilvy Njiokiktjien. Curated by renowned visual storytellers Neo Ntsoma and Azu Nwagbogu, the exhibition captures the hopes, struggles, and voices of South Africa’s “born free” generation — those born after 1994. It’s a striking reflection on identity, inequality, and the legacy of apartheid. The Exhibition is on now at the Nelson Mandela Foundation, Houghton - until Sept 2025. Phemelo speaks to Head of Archives and Research at the Nelson Mandela Foundation, Razia Saleh.
