Event Weltmuseum Wien: 30 April 2024 - Nelson Mandela and his legacy Discussion – Book Presentation – Keynote

To mark the thirtieth anniversary of the overcoming of apartheid through the first free elections in April 1994, we are analysing the political, social and cultural changes in South Africa. Has ethnic discrimination been abolished and have basic rights and freedoms been realised? Has a reduction in economic inequality been achieved? How did this development affect the arts? Activists present a new book on the history of the anti-apartheid movement in Austria, and human rights expert Walter Suntinger draws lessons from the transformation of South Africa.
