ABOUT THE EVENT

Join Us!

Bag Factory is proud to announce our annual end of year Open Studios, in collaboration with Open City.

This is your opportunity to meet the creative practitioners in the intimacy of their working space in person. Come and enjoy a day alongside Bag Factory-based and visiting artists, alongside selected alumni. Discover the captivating art world at our studios with a wide selection of artworks and see a range in topics and mediums. At this year’s Open Studios we invite you you to come witness the magic that is Refiloe Namise’s second activation as part of the current 𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘩𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴𝘩𝘰, 𝘥𝘪𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘰, 𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘰𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘴𝘰 exhibition!

So much more awaits you at this live engagement titled Speaking Truths to Power. This activation further articulates a participatory, evolving narrative – situated outside of formalized holders of history and concerned with the autonomous practices embodied by the communities of Alexandra.

Thinking through the complexities of desire, neglect, and the persistence to belong, her onsite interventions serve as a vehicle of release for the repressed frustrations with the failures of the State.
