UCT Creative Works Award
The Creative Works Award was established to recognise major creative works, including art works, performances, productions, compositions and architectural designs produced by UCT staff.
The award may be made to jointly-produced creative works. However, in the case of jointly-produced works in which non-UCT persons are involved, the UCT person should have made the most significant contribution. Most of the work should have been done during the producer's time of employment at the university.
Creative Works Award 2011
Professor Michael 'Jo' Noero, of the School of Architecture, Planning and Geomatics was awarded the prize specifically for his design of the Red Location Museum of Struggle, located in Red Location, New Brighton, in the Eastern Cape. One of the oldest settled black townships of Port Elizabeth and a prominent anti-apartheid struggle site, Red Location has been the home of some of the country's leading political figures.
Creative Works Award 2010
Associate Professor Fritha Langerman of UCT's Michaelis School of Fine Art won the inaugural Creative Works Award for her work Subtle Thresholds. The exhibition, which was a curated mixed-media work with objects from the collections of the South African Museum and the University of the Witwatersrand's Adler Museum, had as its themes the classification of disease and the representation of speciation.
