Face(t)s of the City
Solo Exhibition by Kagiso Patrick Mautloa
20 August - 19 September 2026
Face(t)s of the City leans into this porous city/studio border by creating space for the audience to experience his process as he brings part of his studio into the exhibition space, alongside completed works. If one has ever visited his well-inhabited studio, it will be obvious that he has long exceeded its capacity with works and ephemera occupying every available inch. During this exhibition, he will actively be working on ambitious large-scale paintings in the comfort of the spacious gallery. The public is welcome to move through the space, engaging with him as he works and gain insight into how he sees and thinks about the ever contested terrain of Johannesburg.
Exhibition Opening: 20 August 2026
Contra.Joburg Open Studios: 29 August 2026
Walkabout and Artist Talk: 19 September 2026
Running 20 August - 19 September
Monday - Friday, 10 am - 4 pm
The exhibition was made possible with the support of the National Arts Council, Republic of South Africa
