The exhibition is titled Biko: A Quest for True Humanity”. She described Biko as an inspiration and expressed the Foundation’s appreciation for the honour by saying, “We know that Steve Biko’s legacy was about many things and was also about heritage issues, cultural identity and how we should see ourselves and how that in turn informs things like development.
