Titled &#8220;On the Arm of Every Woman,&#8221; it has been extended to run until 6 April 2026 at the Oliewenhuis Art Museum in Bloemfontein. It officially opened on 9 August, coinciding with the celebration of Women&#8217;s Month in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This extension makes it one of the longest exhibitions, affording the public ample chance for learning and viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The primary reason for the extension is to provide a longer viewing period for the public. This allows more people from Bloemfontein, as well as those visiting the city or traveling through it, the opportunity to view the collaborative showcase of historical handbags and contemporary artworks that explore narratives of female identity and empowerment,&#8221; says Karen Marais,&nbsp;senior exhibition officer at the art museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/bloem-express\/exhibition-exploring-iconic-womens-accessories-leaves-lasting-impression\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">On the Arm of Every Woman<\/a> was inspired by an exquisite collection of vintage handbags. It explored the evolution of female empowerment through handbags and art. The exhibition featured a thoughtfully curated selection of beautifully crafted artifacts and artworks, overseen by three female curators. This unusual curatorial approach created fresh visual narratives by combining historical handbags with contemporary and classical works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"295124\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/bloemnewsexpress\/centurion-made-gate-motor\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/bloemnewsexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Centurion-made-gate-motor.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1440,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Centurion-made gate motor\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Centurion-made, gate motor &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/bloemnewsexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Centurion-made-gate-motor-1024x768.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/bloemnewsexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/On-the-arm-of-every-woman\u2026-Exhibition_06-1024x814.jpg\" alt=\"The &quot;On the Arm of Every Woman&quot; exhibition highlights female empowerment through historical handbags and contemporary art, extended until April 2026.\" class=\"wp-image-295124\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.257994375670426;width:514px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Handbags on display, demonstrating how the accessory has evolved over the years.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition employed a dual narrative strategy. The central focus was on handbags. They ranged from delicate historical reticules to bold contemporary designer statements. This demonstrated how the accessory has transcended its practical origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The handbag initially reflected women&#8217;s domestic roles. However, it transformed dramatically in the post-war era. This change established a new relationship between women and their possessions. Power became something to be carried, not merely worn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition takes visitors on a transformative journey. It explores how a simple accessory came to carry the profound weight of identity. It also highlights independence and social change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/bloemnewsexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/On-the-arm-of-every-woman\u2026-Exhibition_03-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"The &quot;On the Arm of Every Woman&quot; exhibition highlights female empowerment through historical handbags and contemporary art, extended until April 2026.\" class=\"wp-image-295123\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6670036075916276;width:507px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A contemporary and classical work of art showcase a woman with a handbag on the arm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The title reimagines a familiar saying with new significance. A woman no longer needs a man on her arm. She carries the tools, symbols, and truths of her own journey. The handbag serves as a marker of her success and autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The museum is located at 16 Harry Smith Street, Bloemfontein. It is open to the public from Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 17:00. On Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, it is open between 09:00 and 16:00.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;On the Arm of Every Woman&#8221; exhibition highlights
