Description was written before the event

How does William Kentridge work and why does he believe in creating a safe space for bold ideas? Curator Christelle Havranek will guide visitors through the exhibition of this acclaimed South African artist.

The Battle Between YES and NO is the first major Czech retrospective of Kentridge's work, which interweaves political, historical and personal experiences with broader themes of human existence.

The guided tour traces his creative journey from early animated films to contemporary multidisciplinary projects - drawing, sculpture, performance, film and opera.
