I am not me, the horse is not mine

William Kentridge began his career at the height of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. His work remains sharply political, poetic and socially engaged. This solo exhibition brings together drawings, animated films, installations and videos from the 1980s to the present, with a particular focus on his pioneering stage productions and his distinctive performative and collaborative approach. Art becomes a space for political reflection, historical confrontation and poetic transformation.
