South African artist Simphiwe Buthelezi's first solo exhibition, titled LALA LA, opens at the Bag Factory Artists’ Studios in Fordsburg. The multi-media exhibition deeply explores the intersection of gender roles, societal pressure and individuality, and is the culmination of the artist's residency as the recipient of the 2018 Blessing Ngobeni Art Prize at the Bag Factory Artists Studios. The artist employs diverse mediums in LALA LA, such as light, sound, and manipulated tactile materials to examine these key themes, as well as to pay an homage to her heritage and explore personal family memory.
