Follow-up - Mandela Poster Exhibition

34
I received the following response to the review I wrote about the Mandela Poster Exhibition from one of the organisers, Jacques:
Hi Dan 

Thanks for your review. Our small volunteer team only conceptualised the project two and a half months ago and it is therefore a miracle that we managed to assemble such a large international collection (more than 70 countries) in 60 days.  

The Project made news around the world, with television coverage from all the major international networks and newspapers from six continents paying attention including CNN, BBC, Channel 4, Sky News, Arab News, Fox News, CTV, India Times, Hollywood Reporter and Washington Post to mention just a few. 

The exhibition of 95 curated posters has already started travelling to various venues. By the end of December it would have been shown at UP (Pretoria), Turbine Art Fair (Johannesburg), HP head office (Johannesburg), SA Innovation Summit (IDC Johannesburg), Open Design Expo (Cape Town City Hall), Johannesburg City Library, TEDxSoweto, TEDxJohannesburg, Peacemakers Museum (Sandton), TEDxEuston (London)and the Icograda General Assembly (Montreal). We are currently working with other interested hosts to bring the exhibition to Port Elizabeth, Cairo, Tokyo, New York, Mexico City, Rome and others. We are open to discuss any other exhibition invitations and we would love for it to be shown in rural communities as well. 

Regards
Jacques

 I'm glad to see that the organisers are indeed making sure that the project does the necessary rounds and I appreciate the response from them. If it manages to head all the way to Tokyo, Rome and Mexico City - all the better!

 I realise I neglected to link to the official website of the project in the last post. you can see it here.
