"Zapiro:Jiving with Madiba - Jonathan Shapiro’s Mandela"

Jonathan Shapiro at South African Jewish Museum

Not just another tribute to Nelson Mandela, this exhibition celebrates the life andcontributions of South Africa’s greatest citizen, his struggle, successes and shortcomings, as portrayed by our country’s leading political cartoonist Jonathan Shapiro, better known as Zapiro.

Over  130 of Jonathan Shapiro’s works are on display traceing the life of Nelson Mandela from Prisoner to President to Pensioner.  “This exhibition is truly an inspiring romp through the first two decades of the New South Africa, as serialized in our media, by our greatest cartoonist, Jonathan Shapiro” says Andrew Goldman, the Jewish Museum’s Director. “It is not possible to leave untouched by the contributions of Mandela and Shapiro, so different in their talent and yet both hugely influential inthe shaping of the New South Africa.”
