The Mandela Exhibition, at HKU’s Main Library until 28 Sept, explores the iconic figures life through six themes: character, comrade, leader, prisoner, negotiator and statesman. Although the exhibition is small it gives insight into a man whose words and ideals many of today’s leaders could pay more attention to. His auto-biography Long Walk to Freedom and collected speeches In His Own Words offer more depth.

Nelson Mandela has been central to every stage of South Africa’s epic struggle against apartheid – from formulating a new approach in the 1940s to leading the mass struggles of the 1950s, from the formation of Umkhonto weSizwe in the early 1960s to imprisonment for 27 years. He initiated and led negotiations in the 1990s, and served as the first President of a democratic South Africa, building a new nation from the fragments of conflict.
Mandela’s life is explored through six themes – character, comrade, leader, prisoner, negotiator and statesman. In each theme, the narrative is presented through dramatically visual wall displays, supported by films, books and photographs.
