Dates: 24 April – 16 June 2026
Venue: Oliewenhuis Art Museum (Main Building)
This exhibition was inspired by Freedom Day as well as 2026 being the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution. Freedom Day commemorates the historic 1994 elections, when South Africans of all backgrounds voted for the first time and during 2026, the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture (DSAC) is focusing on 30 Years of Constitutional Democracy under the theme: 30 Years of Constitutional Democracy: One Constitution, One Nation – Reflect, Renew, Recommit.
Oliewenhuis Art Museum and ArtbankSA staff members have chosen an artwork that personally resonates with this theme. Artworks were selected from Oliewenhuis Art Museum’s Permanent Collection and the Collection of the Art Bank of South Africa. Our aim was to create a comfortable space for everyone to be able to share their stories and perspectives through art and to celebrate the freedom of choosing together under the protection of our Constitution.
