Handbags and heritage collaborate at Oliewenhuis Art Museum in Bloemfontein

from OFM Artbeat (Kunsteklop) · host OFM

This unusual curatorial approach creates fresh visual narratives by combining historical handbags with contemporary and classical artworks. The exhibition "On the arm of every woman" features a thoughtfully curated selection of beautifully crafted artifacts and artworks, overseen by three female curators. The selection draws from the prestigious collections of Oliewenhuis Art Museum, Art Bank of South Africa, and textile collections from the National Museum’s Collections Management and Library Departments. Yolanda De Kock (Acting Project Manager, ArtbankSA) joins Yolanda Maartens in the OFM Art Beat. This exhibition is on until the 16th of November 2025.
