“Beyond the benefits of encouraging creativity and engagement and gains in critical thinking and cognitive ability, arts education within the context of South Africa, Africa and the diaspora deals with particularly challenging topics that learners may not be introduced to elsewhere,” says Liesl Hartman, Head of Education at Zeitz MOCAA’s CFAE.

“This project, which includes the exhibition of learners’ work, has allowed the participating learners to question their identities as young adults, express deeply held personal anxieties and negotiate a world in chaos.”is the third student exhibition to be curated by Zeitz MOCAA’s CFAE team, who have established a robust programme of educational workshops, exhibitions and classes that fulfil a key museum objective of strengthening art education.

Adds Liesl Hartman, Head of the Centre For Art Education: “Tracey Rose confronts social, religious and political dogmas, myths, histories, stereotypes and personal internal struggles through the characters she embodies in her work. The young artists who participated in this programme courageously and enthusiastically responded by making artworks of their own, thereby taking part in a creative process that encouraged inquiry and exploration of medium and technique.
