The non-profit organisation is hosting a dozen shows at its glittering French outpost, with many exemplifying the potency of its mission.

Several of the shows have the feel of a blockbuster, but perhaps none more so than William Kentridge’s 'Je n’attends plus (I Am Not Waiting Any Longer)'. This exhibition is an accompaniment to the South African artist’s new opera, 'The Great Yes, The Great No', debuted at LUMA Arles earlier this month, which puts a fantastical twist on a true story: that of a voyage from nearby Marseilles to Martinique in 1941, taken by artists and thinkers—Wifredo Lam and André Breton among them—looking to escape the ravages of war.
