During his 30-year exile in London, Barry, a dedicated and talented artist, poet, and author, played a pivotal role behind the scenes in designing and creating publicity materials for the anti-apartheid movement.
He contributed significantly to the African Communist and Sechaba journals’ eye-catching cover designs and was responsible for the layout and graphic designs of clandestine ANC and SACP leaflets distributed within South Africa. Of Barry’s return to South Africa following the unbanning of the ANC and SACP, Pallo Jordan has written: “He could proudly claim ownership of that outcome, to which he had made his own varied and consistently indispensable contribution.”
