DuduBloom participating in a panel discussion at the Cassirer Welz Award

On the 4th of June DuduBloom More was invited to the 2024 winner announcement of the prestigious Cassirer Welz Award hosted by Strauss & Co. and the Bag Factory Artist Studio to speak on a panel discussion about the award as a previous winner.

“As a recipient of the award in 2019 I received a fully funded 10-week residency and a studio space at the internationally acclaimed Bag Factory Studios which then cultivated into my first solo exhibition. It was an honour to share my perspective in a reflective conversation about the award with previous winners Richard ‘Specs’ Ndimande, Levy Pooe and artist, art practitioner, mentor and Bag Factory board member Pat Mautloa. The discussion highlighted the importance of supporting artists in the form of awards just like the Cassirer Welz Award, the community that the Bag Factory builds and continuously nurtures, and the necessary need for a give-back culture which ensures continuous possibilities for the artists in the future.” – DuduBloom More.
