During the holidays, three Grade 12 Wynberg students were part of a group of sixteen Cape Town learners selected to participate in a 4-day workshop to create artwork for the Zeitz MOCAA art museum in the Waterfront.
To conclude the workshop they were tasked with creating an artwork to be displayed in the museum. The theme for the project was “to see or to be seen” focusing on how they perceived themselves viewed in the world, centered on very personal and deep topics. The exhibition opened on 15 June and will run until 7 September.

The Matric Zeitz MOCAA workshop was an absolutely phenomenal experience in my life. It meant so much for me to voice my experiences and identity to the world as it isn’t something I’m often able to do. The friends made through this workshop and the connections I made with others mean the absolute world to me now, and overall the experience was filled with lots of positivity and love and has helped me to grow and expand my artistic abilities holistically. I am hugely grateful for all the advice and encouragement I received at the workshop, and being able to say that one of my artworks has been displayed in the Zeitz MOCAA is really an amazing highlight in my life.
