  • In the spirit of The Refusal of Time, this publication relates the creation of William Kentridge’s new multifaceted work The Head & the Load
  • A spectacle-performance exploring the little known history of the African porters who were part of the First World War combining music, dance, acting, screenings, and mechanised sculptures. In the same polymorphic vein as the show, the book immerses the reader in the creative process of Kentridge’s work presenting images of the performance as well as thoughts, maps, sketches, drawings developed along its creation. Collage is at the heart of the reflection building the piece and the book, where several elements and fragments are brought together “to find a provisional history” as William Kentridge explains
  • The Head & the Load highlights the political, human and sociological repercussions of colonial history in today’s world. Several essays shed light on the multiple facets of this performance through, first, a historical context by David Olusoga, texts on the making of the show by William Kentridge, composer Philip Miller, choreographer Gregory Maqoma as well as music co-composer Thuthuka Sibisi. In the last essay, Homi K. Bhabha relates the different aspects of colonial history addressed in the show. The Head & the Load has already been presented in London and New York and will travel to the Grande Halle de La Villette in Paris, in 2021

Eco-Friendly, Comfortable, and High Quality
I was looking for a sustainable alternative to plastic toothbrushes, and David’s Premium Bamboo Toothbrush absolutely delivers. It's a perfect mix of eco-conscious design and great performance. ✅ Quality: The bamboo handle is smooth, lightweight, and easy to grip — no splintering or rough edges. The bristles are soft yet effective, making them gentle on gums but still great at cleaning. 🌱 Eco-Friendly: Love that it’s biodegradable and made from responsibly sourced bamboo. It feels good knowing I’m reducing plastic waste without sacrificing dental care quality. 💰 Value: For a premium eco-toothbrush, the price is very reasonable. You’re getting a product that looks and feels high-end while supporting sustainable practices. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make simple, environmentally friendly swaps in their daily routine without compromising on comfort or effectiveness.

An Excellent Toothbrush that's Good for Your Mouth and the Environment
Mindful of plastic's impact on the environment, I've tried many alternative toothbrushes. Davids Premium Soft Bristle Toothbrush is by far the best. The handle is engineered so that it's comfortable to use, and the bristles really are soft and well made. I have never once experienced even one bristle coming loose and ending up where it shouldn't be in my mouth. That happened with other brands. So now, I won't buy any others besides Davids.

Best non-toxic toothbrushes
Started our non-toxic journey and had to get these! They’re perfect! The heads are a little bit bigger than a regular toothbrush but other than that the bristles and soft and this is a perfect non-toxic toothbrush!

Love this toothbrush!
I absolutely love the Bamboo Soft Bristle Toothbrush—5 stars all the way! Pros: The soft bristles are gentle on my gums but still do a great job of cleaning my teeth. I’ve noticed my mouth feels super fresh after each use. The bamboo handle is lightweight and comfortable to hold, and I love that it’s eco-friendly. It’s a great way to reduce plastic waste! It’s durable—so far, the bristles haven’t frayed, even after several weeks of use. Cons: The bamboo handle can feel slightly rough when it gets wet, but it’s not a big deal. It might take a little getting used to if you’ve only used plastic toothbrushes before. Overall, this toothbrush is a great sustainable option without sacrificing performance. I’m definitely sticking with it and recommending it to everyone!
