The Long March To Freedom exhibition is a remarkable display of life-size bronze statues that pay tribute to the incredible individuals who fought for South Africa’s freedom and democracy. The exhibition features notable figures such as Desmond Tutu, Steve Biko, Miriam Makeba, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Abraham Lincoln.
Sculptor Lungelo Gumede created the exhibition’s life-size bronze statues, aiming to express the essence of each figure through their expressions, body language, and clothing. The exhibition does not only serve as a visual spectacle, but it is also an educational experience for visitors. Each statue is accompanied by a plaque that provides information about the person’s life and their contributions to South Africa’s history.
The Long March To Freedom exhibition has traveled to various places worldwide, including the United States, Canada, and Australia. Its impact has been significant, especially in raising awareness about South Africa’s past and the ongoing struggle for social justice.
In addition to the exhibition, The Long March To Freedom Foundation supports youth education programs, community development projects, and cultural exchanges. The foundation aims to promote social cohesion and inspire a new generation of South Africans to continue the fight for freedom and democracy.
The Long March To Freedom exhibition is a tribute to the human spirit and the power of collective action. It reminds us that the struggle for freedom and justice is ongoing and that it requires the participation of everyone. As visitors walk through the procession of statues, they are inspired by the courage and determination of those who came before us. They are reminded of our responsibility to advance toward a more just and equitable society.
