In 2019 Fadzai Muchemwa, a curator from Zimbabwe, completed a three-month residency at the Bag Factory in Johannesburg. This collection of essays on the role of art and arts organisations grew out of her experience of living and working in Johannesburg.
The publication includes articles written by the three young writers, Siya Masuku, Lukho Witbooi and Nolan Stevens, alongside texts by Sassen and Jamal, spanning the history of the Bag Factory Artists’ Studios to the contemporary themes emerging out of interviewed artists’ work. Stevens gives an overview of the institution through comparing the work of younger and older artists working in the studios. Masuku looks at the work of female artists in the space, past and present, and Witbooi does an in-depth analysis of Onyis Martins work, which evokes themes of memory and loss.
