History and political buffs will want to see World Heritage site Robben Island, which was used as a maximum - security political
prison under apartheid; former president Nelson Mandela was famously held there.
Films, sound works, photographs and installations highlight «botanical nationalism» and other legacies of colonialism, plant migration, bio-piracy, flower diplomacy
under apartheid, the role of classification and naming of plants as well as the garden planted by Mandela and his fellow inmates in Robben Island
prison.
