Poster for Nelson Mandela

The Mandela Poster Project  (MPP) initiative was founded in order to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s contribution to humanity by creating a poster or series of posters.
The project aimed to collect exceptional posters from around the world and collate them into an online publication and travelling exhibition.

My poster was one of the 95 selected posters.

MPPC has shown the 95 posters in roving exhibitions around the world since then. They sold the master set for R1 million ($100 000 at the time) and donated the money to the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital – a lifelong dream of South Africa’s revered former president.
