Athi-Patra Ruga’s vivid tapestries imagine a futuristic landscape populated with an ultra-stylish cast of recurring characters that, while it has all the hallmarks of fantasy, draws inspiration from South Africa’s recent past and present. Where fashion enforces a definite here-and-now, an endless present, Ruga invents an elusive utopia that runs alongside and ahead of us.
