Message to the visitors:
Throwback 2010
Dear Belinda, Dear Vicki, Dear South-African artists and citizens,
Dear visitors of the Rainbow Experience,
❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜
🖤 🤍 🤎
Tonight a very special event is going to take place in Cape Town. It's not only the opening of an art exhibition - it's also the celebration of freedom and human rights.
By inviting Mirca's "Freedom & Art" - travelling exhibition from New York to your town on the occasion of a very meaningful holiday, YOU made it this special event.
From the bottom of our hearts we say thank you very much for doing so! As far as we know, FREEDOM DAY celebrates freedom and commemorates the first democratic post-Apartheid elections held on that day in 1994, when Nelson Mandela was elected as President of South Africa. Freedom Day marks the liberation of South Africa and its people from a long period of colonialism and white minority domination.
For South Africans, just being able to vote is precious and for many it was one of the most memorable days of their lives.
We think that personalities such as Nelson Mandela, Albie Sachs, Aung San Suu Kyi, His Holiness, The Dalai Lama, and a few others, REALLY know what the simple word "freedom" is all about.
Thanks to people like we mentioned here this world got a bit closer to paradise - rather than to hell.
Be sure that the democratic world is watching you tonight - and artists from around the world will be with you in spirit. Have a wonderful opening of the "F & A" - show - enjoy the artworks - and have a great week of celebrations!
Kindest regards,

Albert "Albie" Louis Sachs (born 30 January 1935) is an activist and a former judge on the Constitutional Court of South Africa.[1] After having his arm blown off by a car-bomb in Mozambique due to his opposition to apartheid, he fled to the United States but later returned to South Africa and currently resides in Cape Town.
Opening speech:
"This exhibition is a traveling show which is comprised of Mirca Artists. Mirca is a worldwide group of creative people who are making Art to create awareness of the political prisoner, Aung San Suu Kyi, who should have been the Burmese Prime Minister but has been under house arrest for the last 14 of 20 years. You can follow her timeline going up the stairs to the Gallery which explains more of her history.
It has been encouraging to see the response from both International and local artists to the Rainbow Experience's call to artists to participate in the “FREEDOM & ART \x94 Exhibition. We are exhibiting over 50 artists who work in a variety of different materials which all relate to the idea of liberation. The plight of Aung San Suu Kyi is one that is close to our hearts as South Africans, who look to Nelson Mandela as an inspiration for freedom and who instills hope and optimism throughout the world. It made sense to combine the traveling Freedom and Art Exhibition, which supports Aung San Suu Kyi with our 16th national anniversary of South Africa’s Freedom Day.
Art is a powerful, expressive way to reach each other and create awareness in a non-violent manner. Many of these artists have donated works from Italy, Spain, Hungary, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, UK and USA and it has been delightful to see how many South Africans have joined this group and who are committed to creating awareness to end tyranny and who understand the importance of civil liberties, freedom of expression, beliefs, religion, sexual orientation, freedom from oppression and basic freedom of thought.
At the heart of freedom is tolerance and respect for one's self and acceptance of others' diversity of culture in a compassionate manner.
We would like to thank Justice Albie Sachs for being our Guest speaker tonight. He has, as all of us know, been at the forefront in the struggle for Freedom and justice in South Africa. "
