Examine topics ranging from Plato's cave to the Enlightenment's impact on colonial oppression and the representation of animals in art. Gain insight into the mechanisms and deceptions through which we construct meaning in the world, as Kentridge highlights the very processes by which we see and interpret our surroundings.
