A living record of what the children have been making, growing and discovering in Langa.
Art in the neighbourhood
“It is in your hands to make of our world a better place.” The children brought color into the heart of Langa, painting a wall for everyone to share. They honoured a legacy while helping paint the future.
Growing together
The children spent six focused hours building a vertical garden. It took teamwork, patience and problem solving. They were growing plants and learning how to grow something together.
Grounded practice
The children explored the colours and textures of soil, clay and charcoal, then painted with the landscape itself. Muddy hands and a large canvas made room for playful experiments with earth.
A visit behind the scenes
The children ended their school term with a visit to Honest Chocolate. They met the makers, saw the craft up close and left with full hearts and inspired minds. Thank you to Aa’ishah and the team for welcoming them so warmly.
Clay, language and story
Storytelling and the texture of wet clay brought isiXhosa to life. As the children shaped udaka, words and ideas became something they could feel and make together.
Art and sustainability
Art, reflection and sustainability came together as the children planted seeds. Caring for a seedling offered a simple way to think about the future and what it takes to help something grow.
A first museum outing
The children’s first outing to Zeitz MOCAA took them from the soil and clay of the studio into a world of new artworks and stories. They explored, took part in paired activities and found their own ways of seeing. Thank you to the education team for welcoming them.
Movement and confidence
The children took to their bikes with energy and confidence, enjoying the freedom to move through Langa together. Thank you to Langa Bicycle Hub for being part of the day.
Art and the living landscape
The day began at 16 on Lerotholi Gallery, where the children talked about how art changes. At Mzi Organic Herbal Garden, their questions turned to the stories held in the earth and plants.
A journey through the garden
In the garden with Asemjey, the children explored how food and medicinal plants grow and why the land matters to us. They shared ideas about their first harvests and how to care for the earth together.
Clay and cultural memory
The name Qamatha is believed to have been adopted by the Xhosa from Khoi and San peoples, reflecting a long history of cultural exchange and shared spiritual beliefs. The children explored this story through a clay portrait.
