Artist William Kentridge explores such topics as apartheid and colonialism through his drawings, prints, and films. The flip-book film Second-hand Reading was constructed from the successive filming of drawings on the pages of old books – a second-hand reading of those books. The seven-minute film is an investigation of race relations through an immersive combination of drawings and music, set to a soundtrack of piano and vocals composed by South African anti-apartheid activist/musician Neo Muyanga.
