William Kentridge: That which we do not remember.

Described as one of the most powerful voices in art

today, William Kentridge emerged as an artist during

the apartheid regime in South Africa. The exhibition

traces the arc of Kentridge’s 30-year career and draws

connections between the myriad aspects of his work

including drawing, collage, stop-motion animation,

performance, theatre, tapestry and sculpture.
