The Head and the Load, 2020

'William Kentridge: The Head & The Load' is an in-depth, artistic exploration of the forgotten history of over one million African porters who served in WWI. Combining essays, sketches, and performance photos, the book documents Kentridge's multimedia theatrical piece, blending dance, music, and sculpture, to examine colonial history and the often unrecorded contributions of African laborers.
