Kentridge has worked notably in film, theater, painting and drawing, with most of his subjects and imagery flowing easily between media.

Films to be screened: 1. Johannesburg 2nd Greatest City After Paris 2. Mine 3. Monument 4. Sobriety Obesity and Growing Old 5. Felix in Exile 6. History of the Main Complaint

*The Kreeger set to display 40 to 50 works of two of the world`s most significant printmakers. One of them, William Kentridge, was born in South Africa to an affluent anti-apartheid family, studied politics and African studies, and later took art classes and drama workshops at the Johannesburg Art Foundation. His poignant works are often expressions of a brutalized society left in the wake of an oppressive political regime. They will be on display alongside the work of another renowned printmaker - Oleg Kudryashov.
