Baggage invites viewers to unpack the complexities of identity, community, and belonging in Johannesburg: Egoli, the City of Gold where migration, resilience, and transformation continuously intersect. As a city that has grown from its origins into a vast urban centre in less than 150 years, Johannesburg embodies the urgency and intensity of movement, ambition, and reinvention.
This exhibition explores the many dimensions of transit, shedding light on the physical, emotional, and cultural burdens that shape human experience within a city defined by constant flux. Against this vibrant and ever shifting backdrop, Baggage brings together diverse artistic voices that reflect on Johannesburg’s transitory nature and the energy of a population in motion.
The works presented create a space for reflection, dialogue, and connection, encouraging viewers to consider how histories, geographies, and personal narratives are carried, negotiated, and transformed over time.
By examining the intersections of identity, migration, and resilience, Baggage offers a nuanced exploration of what it means to navigate both the challenges and possibilities of contemporary urban life in Johannesburg.
