A meeting of two incredible minds, one an internationally renowned cross-media artist and the other an internationally renowned cross-disciplinary philosopher. William Kentridge and Judith Butler are known throughout the world for revising and propelling their respective areas of inquiry. Meeting at Berkeley for a free-ranging conversation, these two leading lights consider the relationship between art and politics, the paradoxes of identity, the ethics of activism, the power of “the less good idea,” and much more.
In-person seating is reserved for collaborators on the William Kentridge residency and for students enrolled in L&S 25, Video Art in Context.
The talk will be livestreamed for the public.

(121 mins)
Free Admission
“Using the Met stage as it is rarely used, [William] Kentridge establishes from the outset a vigorously multidimensional environment, defined in equal measure by verticals and horizontals, by flat graphic surfaces and the deep space of the rear stage. . . . If Kentridge’s Nose was so immensely satisfying it was at least in part because of its deep connection to the inexorable, irrational logic of Gogol’s tale” (Geoffrey O’Brien, New York Review of Books).
Free admission. Tickets available at the admissions desk beginning at 6 PM.

BAMPFA Student Committee Pick
Sidestepping clichéd approaches to sex work perpetuated by mainstream films—which fetishize, romanticize, and/or pathologize prostitution—Lizzie Borden matter-of-factly documents the details of a day in the life of a sex worker at a Manhattan brothel.

“This explosive work offers a speculative, feminist polemic set in a potential future that mirrors both the present in which it was made and ours. . . . [Lizzie] Borden’s fevered 1983 film is absolutely one we should be watching right now” (Yasmina Price, Vulture).
