Able-Graphy explores how a single object, the iconic leather handle of the ABLE bag, can become a canvas for myriad stories and emotions
“An object is not so attached to its name that we cannot find another one that would suit it better” — René Magritte
The Able-Graphy* exhibition begins with the notion that an object’s essence transcends its name, as eloquently stated by René Magritte. It is in this spirit that artists from diverse backgrounds have re-conceived the Nosakhari ABLE bag, a symbol born of resilience and strength, inspired by the tenacity of John Stephen Akhwari in the 1968 Olympics.
