In conversation with Norman Kaplan – 22nd April 2026
A live online conversation with South African artist Norman Kaplan.

This event accompanies the exhibition All Shall Be Afforded Dignity! at Thin Ice Press, co-produced by the Anti-Apartheid Legacy Centre, Action for Southern Africa (ACTSA), and the Anti-Apartheid Movement Archives.

In conversation with Thin Ice Press Director, Helen Smith, Kaplan will reflect on his printmaking practice, process and influences discussing works including The Waiting Room – an evocative print on life in post-apartheid South Africa – alongside his work designing and producing materials for underground ANC and South African Communist Party publications.
