@KristinEngel recently spoke to Albie Sachs ahead of the opening of Zeitz Mocaa’s “Spring Is Rebellious: The Art & Life of Albie Sachs” exhibition. If you could sit down with one South African icon, past or present, who would it be, and what would you ask them?
@KristinEngel, what was it like meeting Sachs?
Hi Sarah! Gosh, I don’t know where to begin. It was such an honour. At 90 years old, he’s incredibly eloquent about his optimism for South Africa - it was infectious. Even with all our challenges as a country, we should never take for granted the hard-won rights and our institutions that allow us to live in such an open society to tackle these challenges. I remember stepping out afterwards and just feeling incredibly grounded and inspired

Some behind-the-scenes action, I couldn’t resist a pic! If you’re in Cape Town, definitely check out the “Spring Is Rebellious: The Art & Life of Albie Sachs” exhibition at Zeitz Mocaa - it’s filled with surprises, and I’d love to hear your thoughts
