WILLIAM KENTRIDGE | The Great Yes, The Great No | Berkeley, California, USA

South African artist William Kentridge returns to campus with his latest creation for the stage, a chamber opera set on a 1941 sea voyage from Marseille to Martinique. Conceived in collaboration with theater maker Phala Ookeditse Phala and choral conductor and dancer Nhlanhla Mahlangu, The Great Yes, The Great Nofictionalizes the historic wartime escape from Vichy France by, among others, the surrealist André Breton, the anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, and the Cuban artist Wifredo Lam—and adds a distinguished and colorful cast of characters to the passenger list, like Aimé Césaire, Josephine Baker, Leon Trotsky, and Joseph Stalin.

WAEL SHAWKY | I Am Hymns of the New Temples | 16th Sharjah Art Biennale

WAEL SHAWKY | I Am Hymns of the New Temples | 16th Sharjah Art Biennale

Wael Shawky’s work “I Am Hymns of the New Temples” is part of the 16th Sharjah Art Biennale, from 6 February to 15 June 2025. The Biennial theme, to carry, entails understanding our precarity within spaces that are not our own while staying responsive to these sites through the cultures that we hold. It also signifies a bridge between multiple temporalities of embodied pasts and imagined futures, encompassing intergenerational stories and various modes of inheritance. What do we carry when it is time to travel, flee or move on? What are the passages that we form as we migrate between territories and across time? What do we carry when we remain? What do we carry when we survive?

MARZIA MIGLIORA | MARZIA MIGLIORA. SETTE MOSTRE IMMAGINIFICHE 1993-2024 Book presentation | Galleria Lia Rumma, Milan

On January 30th at 6:00 PM, the Lia Rumma Gallery in Milan will host the presentation of "Marzia Migliora. Sette mostre immaginifiche 1993-2024", the first monograph dedicated to the artist. Both the artist and curators Matteo Lucchetti and Anna Cestelli Guidi will be present at the event. Conceived as a concept book, it reinterprets Marzia Migliora's body of work through seven recurring themes in her practice. The book features seven exhibitions on paper, each curated by a different curator who imagined them set in significant locations from the artist's life, creating a personal emotional geography that spans Italy, from her hometown of Alessandria to the salt mines of Sicily. Edited by Anna Cestelli Guidi and Matteo Lucchetti, the book compiles over thirty years of the artist’s work.

WAEL SHAWKY | Drama 1882 | Now screening at the Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial

WAEL SHAWKY | Drama 1882 | Now screening at the Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial

Wael Shawky’s practice spans film, performance, drawing, and sculpture. In his latest theatrical film, Drama 1882 (2024), which debuted at the Egyptian Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale (2024), Shawky examines the 1882 Urabi Revolution and Egypt’s resistance to British colonialism. This eight-part musical, reimagines the chain of events leading up to the revolution, examining primary sources to dispute the traditional Western settler narrative, suggesting that seemingly insignificant events, such as a café altercation involving a donkey keeper, could have been orchestrated by Britain as a pretext for their attack. Drama 1882 merges real and imagined histories into a musical critique that underscores the necessity to reevaluate history. Outdoor amphitheatre: Monday–Thursday, 4:00–10:00 PM; Friday–Sunday, 4:00 PM–12:00 AM; not available Wednesday 4–Saturday 8 December 2024 Indoor theatre: daily until Monday 13 January 2025, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM, unless there is other programming; not available Saturday 8–Sunday 9 December 2024 Language: Arabic, English | 45 minutes
