Скачать или смотреть “Surreal Histories”: Panel with UC Berkeley faculty and William Kentridge

In this conversation with William Kentridge, we considered the historical setting of the boat crossing depicted in his work The Great Yes, The Great No, as well as its creative reimagining.

How does this work invite us to experience the sea journey as a crossing of different yet intertwined histories (of colonial domination, of fascist occupation, of refugee flight)?

In what ways does it transform our sense of history as well as our present moment and possible futures?

The panel was co-presented by UC Berkeley’s Center for Interdisciplinary Critical Inquiry and was moderated by Mina Girgis, Cal Performances’ Director of Education, Campus, and Community Engagement. Panelists include artist William Kentridge; Debarati Sanyal, director of UC Berkeley’s Center for Interdisciplinary Critical Inquiry; Karl Britto, Associate Dean of Arts & Humanities at UC Berkeley; and Shannon Jackson, Cyrus & Michelle Hadidi Professor of the Arts & Humanities at UC Berkeley.
