The exhibition, William Kentridge, is now open and will be on till September 1, 2024 at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum. The exhibition is a collaboration between the Taipei Fine Arts Museum and the Royal Academy of Arts (RA) in London and it is also William Kentridge’s first time showing in Taiwan. In this episode you’ll hear from the curator of the exhibition, Adrian Locke, of the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

William Kentridge was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1955. Kentridge’s art is shaped by apartheid and grounded in the politics of the post-apartheid era, and in science, literature, and history. Kentridge’s parents were prominent lawyers for their defence of victims of apartheid, which has a deep influence on him. Kentridge’s charcoal drawings, films, and animation are also informed by his experience in acting.
