| Signage: | This artwork served as the back cover of the Images of Human Rights print portfolio. The intent behind publishing this portfolio was to raise awareness of South Africa’s artistic talent while endorsing the positive values of human rights education, just as the Constitution came into effect. Volunteers from human rights and art organisations worked together to produce and market the portfolio. Images from the portfolio are installed along the African Steps on the west side of the Constitutional Court building. |
