Notes
In Milk Bags I, Tony Gum fuses tradition with modernity to explore womanhood and self-representation. Wearing Xhosa-inspired dress and
accessories made from milk cartons, she reclaims the everyday object as a symbol of cultural transformation. Both humorous and profound, the work reveals how identity, heritage, and consumerism intersect in contemporary
African life.
