Gibson and Kentridge’s landmark portrait of Sophiatown Freedom Square and Back of the Moon is rendered as a series of frank first-person accounts, interspersed with theatrical flourishes and cinematic excerpts; where Kentridge’s poignant backdrops evoke the bygone, visual activist Zanele Muholi’s deeply affecting short Enraged by a Picture – her first film – plunges the viewer into present-day violence and vitriol wrought upon the LGBT community. Robin Rhode, meanwhile, presents the UK premiere of Recycled Matter, his latest foray into the wondrous and illusory structures of animation and performance.
Programme duration: 90 minutes.
