Born in the Republic of South Africa in 1955, and currently one of the most acclaimed active artists of our time, William Kentridge will exhibit his works in Lithuania - in Kaunas, the city of his Litvak origins - for the first time. Raised in the South Africian city of Johannesburg, a place marked by its striking contrast of natural and industrial landscapes, Kentridge began his artistic career during the apartheid era. Thus, his works are permeated by themes of human rights, racial and wealth inequality, revolution, and the stark differences between posited ideals and shameful daily practices.
