A free, accessible exhibition about Nelson Mandela, marking what would have been his 100th birthday, is such an indisputably good thing, it seems mean-spirited to even try to assess it critically, as if to do so were to take issue with the South African figurehead himself.
Mandela is the model of a wise, benign, dignified statesman, and the world could certainly do with more of those right now. Barack Obama pointed this out last week in Johannesburg. Giving the annual Mandela lecture, he contrasted the progressive democratic triumphs of the 1990s—such as South Africa and the collapse of the Soviet Union—with the present climate of tribalism, resentment and " strongman politics ". Addressing Mandela by his clan name, he said: " We have to follow Madiba’s example of persistence and of hope. "
Those looking to do so will find ample inspiration and ammunition at this show, even if the presentation is somewhat dry and dutiful. This is primarily a two-dimensional exhibition of text and photographic images, neatly designed and laid out across six walk around clusters of wall-sized panels, huddled together in the cavernous semi-cafe space of the Purcell Room.
Distilling a life as storied as Mandela’s into digestible chunks is a daunting task, but it has been done judiciously, combining biography with political context, plus personal episodes and anecdotes. Each set of panels addresses a phase of Mandela’s life and persona: character, comrade, leader, prisoner, negotiator, statesman.
It is a story of rags to riches
. The beginning " character" section includes Mandela’s recollection of donning his first pair of trousers—a novelty for a 1920s South African village boy—to go to school. His father simply put him in a pair of his own trousers, cut them at the knee and tied them with string.
From there, the story progresses through Mandela’s political awakening, his organised resistance to the apartheid regime and deepening involvement with the African National Congress, imprisonment for 27 years, and eventual release and election as South Africa’s first black president.
What does the exhibition consist of?
选项
A、Texts.
B、Photos.
C、Texts and photos.
D、Texts, photos and panels.
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据关键词exhibition找到关于展览的介绍,定位到第三段。然后寻找关键句“这主要是一个由文字和照片组成的二维展览”,因此可以得出结论,展品主要由文字和图片组成,[A][B]都不全面,[D]“文字、图片和展板”冗余,答案为[C]。
