This Saturday, families are invited to Zeitz MOCAA to join a special Family Learning Workshop: Award of Me that celebrates the life and legacy of Albie Sachs—activist, writer, and former judge of South Africa’s Constitutional Court. Throughout his extraordinary life, Sachs has championed justice and freedom.
Judge Albie Sachs
In the exhibition Spring Is Rebellious: The Art & Life of Albie Sachs, currently on view at Zeitz MOCAA, visitors will find a replica of The Albie Award in the Preparing Ourselves for Freedom room. Named after Albie Sachs, who received a Lifetime Achievement in Pursuit of Justice award at the inaugural ceremony, the award honours his lifelong pursuit of justice. Created by George and Amal Clooney, The Albies recognise brave individuals and groups worldwide who, often at great personal risk, have devoted their lives to defending justice and human rights. These awards embody courage, integrity, and humanity—qualities that continue to inspire generations.
In this spirit, families will join Albie Sachs for an inspirational talk, followed by an artmaking workshop.
Participants can choose to work in clay or other 3D materials to create their own Award of Me, celebrating the quality they most value or admire in themselves. The morning will conclude with a joyful mini awards ceremony.
Zeitz MOCAA’s Family Learning Workshops at the BMW Centre for Art Education give parents/guardians and children the chance to share a creative experience and deepen their engagement with art together. All materials and equipment are provided, along with a snack break. To sustain the quality and continuity of this programme, a modest workshop fee has been introduced, effective from the end of February 2026.
Participants must arrive at the BMW Centre for Art Education on Level -1 by 10.10 am. The workshop will begin promptly at 10.15 am with a visit to the artworks, where applicable. ENJOY!
