Seventh Annual Tim Hamill Visiting Artist Lecture. It is part of a series of events celebrating the 25th anniversary of South Africa's Caversham Press
This lecture is part of a series of events at Boston University celebrating the 25th anniversary of South Africa's Caversham Press. The Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Visual Arts and the Boston University Art Gallery are exhibiting 170 works by South African artists in two major exhibitions celebrating The Caversham Press. The exhibitions speak to Caversham's history as it reflects artists' responses to the dramatic political and cultural shifts that have occurred in South Africa over the past two and half decades (until March 27). The lecture series, named in honor of BU School of Visual Arts alumnus Tim Hamill, was launched in 2004 to present artists whose work crosses boundaries among artistic disciplines, and who connect to the art world in a variety of ways. One of South Africa's leading visual artists, William Kentridge is best known for his remarkable films, works on paper, and theatre productions. Kentridge's work touches on the atrocities of apartheid and social injustice, yet also reflects the exhilarating freedom of the new South Africa.
