Hanna Noor Mahomed maps the social geography of Cape Town’s artistic landscape by collaging, drawing, painting, and pasting monotypes over the wall installation that marked the beginning of Social. Presented in the iteration of Goods that occurred prior to Hannahs’ residency, and curated by Khanya Mashabela, Social is a growing archive of graphic material submitted by practitioners through an open call. Social’s posters, flyers and photographs record independent artist initiatives in Cape Town.

Informed by Mahomed’s experiences as a young artist and woman of colour, Disruption is a playful-but-serious critique of Cape Town’s art ecosystem’s “perceived bubble of exclusivity,” according to Mashabela. “Art worlds mirror and respond to the sociological imbalances of their broader contexts.” Working with, through and upon Goods, Mahomed expands upon the ever-shifting function of the space by using it as an artist residency and visual microcosm of the city.

Goods is a project space for work in process and thinking aloud. The location’s transitory nature as a thoroughfare encourages a light-footed navigation of curatorial and artistic practice and rapid prototyping of ideas.
