Bag Factory | MAUNGO

A group exhibition featuring ten current studio artists and resident lithographic studio LL Editions. The exhibition launches a year of celebrations marking 35 years of creating space and providing development opportunities for artists, curators, and writers at every stage of their careers in the culturally significant hubs of Fordsburg and Newtown. Maungo, curated by Ntshadi Mofokeng, captures in a capsule the vivacity and creative courage of this community.

The featured artists are: Gail Behrmann, Erla S. Haraldsdóttir, Sharlene Khan, David Koloane, Candice Kramer, LL Editions, Kagiso Pat Mautloa, Tshepiso Moropa, Richard 'Specs' Ndimande, Levy Pooe and Joe Turpin.

“As the Director of this known and beloved institution — and on behalf of the team I am supported by — it is a great honour and privilege to celebrate Bag Factory’s 35-year milestone. Marking over three decades of resilience, Bag Factory continues to manifest the spirit of contemporaneity, experimentation, cross-pollination, subversion, and collaboration. It remains buoyant with energy, unapologetic in its positionality, and steeped in the ethos and fervour of our elders.” — Maria Fidel Regueros (2026)

This show runs from 26 February – 10 April 2026
