Bring the whole family to WAM this Saturday 13 June 2026 from 11:30 to 13:00 for our Free Family Make-and-Create workshop.
Free parking is available in the garage beneath the museum. From the garage take the lift or stairs to the Ground floor foyer.
Inspired by the '1976 at 50' exhibition which marks the 50th anniversary of the Soweto uprising, this workshop will explore ideas of contrast, presence, and absence, and look at how photography can hold memory, tell stories, and show different perspectives on history.
Led by experienced WAM docent Pam and Education Curator Bougaard, families will be guided through the exhibition before moving into a hands-on making session. Using chalk, pastel, white correction fluid and other white materials on black paper, participants will experiment with how images can emerge through light and shadow.
Together, you will create drawings inspired by what you have seen and discussed, exploring how marks, texture, and layering can express feeling, memory, or story. Each work becomes a personal response to history and the act of seeing.
This hands-on workshop is suitable for kids, teens and families. No experience is needed, only curiosity and imagination.
The workshop will take place in the WAM Cafe/ Gallery Forecourt area.
All materials are provided.
No booking is required and entrance is free.We can't wait to see you there!
Museum hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 10:00 - 16:00
