Asylum of the Birds
"Asylum of the Birds" is an art installation created by artist William Kentridge in Johannesburg, South Africa. It features a series of large, sculptural birdhouses that serve as a metaphor for refuge and safety. The installation reflects themes of displacement and the search for belonging, drawing attention to the plight of those seeking asylum.
The project is part of Kentridge's broader exploration of social and political issues through art. It invites viewers to consider the experiences of migrants and the importance of creating spaces that offer protection and hope. The installation is both visually striking and thought-provoking.
