From a series that memorializes historic and contemporary efforts at peaceful demonstration, this piece refers to the Langa March of 1960, in which 30,000 to 50,000 demonstrators marched in opposition to apartheid. The rainbow array of colors in this piece is a reference to the term Rainbow Nation coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu to describe post-apartheid South Africa, after South Africa's first fully democratic election in 1994. The freeways and parks, and the seaport at the top, reflect the geography of Capetown.
