Featured artworks range from his early prints and drawings that laid the foundation for his animated film series, \u003ci\u003eDrawings for Projection\u003c\/i\u003e, to recent installations that confront apartheid, colonialism, social upheaval and collective memory. Other standout works in the volume include his panoramic video installation \u003ci\u003eMore Sweetly Play the Dance\u003c\/i\u003e, and his woodcut series Triumphs and Laments--both of which employ the motif of procession as a powerful metaphor for change. The book also highlights the Centre for the Less Good Idea, a Johannesburg-based performance incubation space cofounded by Kentridge and Bronwyn Lace that adheres to Kentridge's experimental and open-ended approach to making.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 11.4 x 10 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 10, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47646578082013,"sku":"9783969994757","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/tFNKnJtkQP9783969994757_b1e524fc-1e6a-48cf-9630-775814d0aafb.webp?v=1773867457","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/william-kentridge-listen-to-the-echo-hardcover-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
