All Shall Be Afforded Dignity!
11 March - 30 April 2026
Thin Ice Press: The York Centre For Print
‘All Shall Be Afforded Dignity’ is a collection of works from South African artist Norman Kaplan, whose prints and linocuts speak to what life was like during apartheid and tell the story of South Africa’s journey toward democracy.

The exhibition, which gets its name from Kaplan’s 1996 award-winning linocut, explores themes of dignity, democracy, and the enduring human spirit.

The artworks and political and satirical cartoons featured represent the span of Kaplan’s career from apartheid South Africa to his exile in the UK and the hopes of post-liberationSouth Africa.

Alongside Kaplan’s works, archival ephemera from the Anti-Apartheid Movement and materials from the University of York’s Borthwick Institute of Archives will be displayed, highlighting some of the York area’s rich anti-apartheid heritage.

Entry is free during the Thin Ice Press opening hours, with no booking required.

Guided tours, thematically linked talks, and creative response workshops to learn about linocut or other forms of printing, can be arranged for interested groups. thinicepress.org
