William Kentridge's 40-year retrospective at London's Royal Academy

At the Royal Academy of Arts in London, a groundbreaking exhibition dedicated to William Kentridge, who was born in Johannesburg in 1955, is being showcased. This event highlights 40 years of his artistic journey across various media, focusing on the conflicts and power dynamics in post-Apartheid African society. Kentridge's charcoal illustrations vividly depict the realities of South Africa, featuring significant pieces like 'Untitled, Woman and Hyena' (1986), 'Warthog and Necklace' (1985), and 'The Pool Ahead' (2018). Additionally, the mechanized theater work 'Black Box/Chambre Noire' (2005) addresses colonialism and the Herero and Nama genocide. Other notable works include 'Drawing Lesson 17' (2010), 'Ubu Tells The Truth' (1996-97), and 'Notes Towards a Model Opera' (2015). This exhibition will be open until December 11, 2022, at Burlington House, Piccadilly.
