The CTHGC Creative Project

The Cape Town Holocaust & Genocide Centre runs an annual art and writing project for high school learners in the Western Cape.

This year’s theme:

Commemorating Freedom: Holocaust Memorials as a Lens for Remembrance in South Africa

Closing date for entries: Friday 8 August, 2pm
Exhibition & Awards Evening: Sunday 31 August, 5pm (TBC)

Learners (Grade 9-12) are invited to create a memorial or commemorative piece in recognition of South Africa’s Apartheid past, and to share within it a message of hope for our future.

The project encourages cross-curricular study. Educators may choose to use the topic as an activity for learners’ portfolios in any subject.
