iVum Vum by Lebogang Mogul Mabusela (Monotype Babe)

04 May – 14 June 2024

Bag Factory Artists Studios presents the solo exhibition iVum Vum, by Lebogang ‘Mogul’ Mabusela, also known as Monotypebabe. The exhibition consists of monotype prints and drawings, unraveling South Africa’s history with automotive culture.

Mabusela’s work exposes the hegemonies and precepts present in Black masculine culture and investigates its implications within contemporary South Africa. The exhibition features works from her ongoing series, ‘Johannesburg Words’, the title of which references an etching by Robert Hodgins by the name, ‘Joburg Words’. The work depicts the city’s lively nature while satirising the elitism of its subjects – an approach Mabusela borrows to critique the pervasiveness of misogyny amongst Black men.
