Nelson Mandela was in many ways larger than life – son, family man, freedom fighter, father of a nation, hero. His legacy continues on in the heart of all humanity, immortalized by paintings, sculptors, monuments and other forms of art.
July 18th is Nelson Mandela International Day.
Today, DUNIA joins the world in honoring Madiba’s memory with the following collection of art:
