On Thursday, 29 January 2026, Galleria Lia Rumma opens, at its Milan venue, the new solo exhibition by
William Kentridge titled Sharpen Your Philosophy.
The South African artist, internationally renowned for his animated films, drawings, tapestries, sculptures,
and theatre productions, returns to exhibit in Milan, further consolidating his nearly thirty-year collaboration
with Galleria Lia Rumma, developed over the years through numerous permanent and temporary projects in
Italy.
For this new exhibition project, Kentridge presents a poetic and varied body of recent works—including
drawings and prints, a diorama, large- and medium-scale aluminum and bronze sculptures, and video
installations—which reflect his ongoing exploration of complex themes such as displacement, identity, and
the elusive nature of knowledge.
