Portée et contenu
Afrapix produced a number of collective exhibitions in its 10 years of existence. Some of the key exhibitions were 'Cordoned Heart', 'Staffrider' annual exhibition, 'Crossroads', 'Taking Sides', 'Children's Exhibition' and 'Human Rights'.
Typically these exhibitions were shown at conferences, in community halls, and other events in order to raise awareness about the pressing issues of the time. Some also went overseas like 'Cordoned Heart' and 'Taking Sides' (which became 'Beyond the Barricades'). These exhibitions often were shown in main stream galleries, and 'Cordoned Heart' and 'Beyond the Barricades' were also published as books.
