Following the birth of democracy in South Africa in 1994, Robben
Island, once a symbol of pain, injustice, and closed spaces, became
a famous world heritage site and a global symbol of a noble
commitment to democracy, tolerance, and human dignity. In the words
of Nelson Mandela at the official opening of the Robben Island
Museum in 1997, it would forever be a reminder that ‘today’s
unity is a triumph over yesterday’s division and conflict’. In
the years that followed, however, division and conflict marred the
high hopes for this cherished 475-hectare location, leaving a
bewildered public at the mercy of disinformation and challenging
the dream of creativity, inclusivity, hope and a re-imagined
future. Robben Island Rainbow Dreams offers the first intimate,
behind-the-scenes account of the ongoing saga of the making of
democratic South Africa’s first national heritage institution. In
doing so, it draws on the perspectives of historians, architects,
visiting artists, ex political prisoners, residents of the island
and a host of heritage professionals, including perspectives on
Mandelarisation and commemorating Mangaliso Robert Sobukwe.
