William Kentridge’s processional film prompts a reflection on migration and confinement

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

After seeing William Kentridge’s More Sweetly Play the Dance at the Milwaukee Art Museum, Debra Brehmer reflects on the procession of figures moving across its eight screens. Her essay relates the South African artist’s images of burdens and confinement to a nearby protest against US immigration policies. The connection is the critic’s interpretation, extending into a self-examination of privilege, segregation and the limits of solidarity.
