To What End: A Visual Lecture by William Kentridge

Over the course of the 2022-23 academic year, Cal Performances, BAMPFA, and the Townsend Center for the Humanities at UC Berkeley will participate in a campus-wide residency with world-renowned, multidisciplinary South African artist William Kentridge.
The residency kicks off with “To What End,” a visually illustrated lecture by Kentridge, in which he considers provocations and processes in the making of the chamber opera Waiting for the Sibyl (2019), a work that will be presented by Cal Performances on March 17-19, 2023. Kentridge will discuss his multifaceted artistic practice and the role and meaning of art.
