The works on exhibition focus on atrocities committed during apartheid. The exhibition also looks at the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, and the torture and humiliation of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison. Works by Wim Botha, Kendell Geers, Pieter Hugo, Carmen Jerrard, Ezrom Legae, Santu Mofokeng, Jo Ractliffe, Harold Rubin and Paul Stopforth are showcased. The focus of the exhibition is the collection of fifty nine designed and hand-printed resistance posters by the Medu Art Ensemble, including the posters of Albio Gonzalez, Heinz Klugg, Thami Mnyele, Judy Seidman and other members of the Medu Art Ensemble in exile in Botswana.
