About "Robben Island"

by Bas de Glopper

About the artwork

The photo of the prison where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned often shows Robben Island, an island off the coast of Cape Town in South Africa. Mandela was held there from 1964 to 1982, after being convicted for his fight against apartheid. Robben Island, originally a prison for political dissidents, became a symbol of oppression and the long struggle for freedom.

Pictures of the prison often show the simplicity of the cells, small and bare, with no furniture except a thin mattress and a bucket as a toilet. The prison was tough, but Mandela and other political prisoners remained determined and organised silent protests, such as refusing to serve on certain work teams.

Robben Island itself has acquired deep symbolism in South Africa's history, not only as a place of suffering, but also as a symbol of resistance and perseverance. Today, it is a museum and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where visitors learn about the harsh realities of apartheid and the courageous struggle of Mandela and his fellow prisoners.
