Catalogue Note
"During the 1970s and 1980s I made some posters and drawings as well as theatre pieces, all of which I saw as acts of political opposition. More importantly, there were times when my own real anger formed the impetus behind particular works - and so became part of the process, without any expectation that work itself would be an act of resistance" (William Kentridge in conversation with Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, in: William Kentridge, 1999, p. 14).
