WOW...... it's sooo wonderful to see you again Sam, and the unique privilege you granted us to watch you at work and enjoy your wonderful jazz collection...... I also still cherish that visit to your home for dinner and to experience your distinguished art collection as well as to meet your gracious wife; just in case you forgot, I'm Akyem-i Ramsay (Painter from BARBADOS- Caribbean), and along with my brother Ras Ishi Butcher we spent 3months at the Bag-Factory Artist Residency Studio in Jo'Burg 2005, where we first met you, Kay Hassan, Bongi, Pat(who looked after us), David Kalone and several other amazing visionaries...... it's an experience that has remained indelibly etched in my memory ever since; thank you all for embracing and welcoming us into your world, and do continue to walk good my brother, much appreciated! 😇 PS: that iconic image of your rendering of the "Death Of Steve Biko" still lives in my memory's "EYE"...! THANK YOU
WOW! What an extraordinary experience! I was literally transported by your art, the beautiful studio space, the jazz music, and your deep sense of spirituality--it was all VERY PALPABLE! I appreciate the opportunity to view an aspect of your world, your sense of connection to family, gratitude for life, art, and community. I love the way you have designed the space!
This has really made my day. Very moody and meandering -- with the high-low mood of each moment following the through-line in the jazz. So beautiful, as ever, Sam Nhlengethwa.
Sending blessings Sam, appreciate our times listening to jazz and discussing the art world in your studio. The Bag Factory has helped and provided space for generations of artists... we treasure both of you.
Oh, God bless you, Sam Nhlengethwa. This narrative tour of your studio and work made me feel GOOD. Thank you.

This was so beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing with us more of bra Sam.
Wonderful film. And as a jazz fan I can only agree. Art & music so linked over the years. May I wish you many happy years of creativity, to come.
