Le Cool 11- 17 Sept 08


Exhibition I am 90
If like me you have always been fascinated by the strength and determination of one of the greatest men on Earth and have been inspired by his continued support for human rights and hope in the face of adversity then you will probably not want to miss an exhibit dedicated to the man himself. The 46664 exhibit is a unique collection of photographs that chronicles moments from the special events that occurred during Nelson Mandela’s week-long visit to London to celebrate his 90th birthday when he was joined by friends from the world of politics, music, film and sport and by surviving comrades from the apartheid years. The exhibition also illustrates the continued turbulence in Africa and although the birthday celebrations gained international publicity for the cause of the global HIV AIDS epidemic the photographs reflect that there is still a long way to go in Africa and the world still needs to support those living with HIV AIDS. / Sophie Khan
