Event Details

Dissident Chinese Artist Ai Weiwei (b.1956) is best known for his installation art, conceptual works, and political activism. Ai Weiwei is one of the most influential figures in contemporary art today. Often critical of China’s oppressive regime, Ai has been arrested, detained, beaten, had his studio demolished, and imprisoned yet, he continues to make art speaking truth to power, critical of his birthplace, China. Ai Weiwei's art has been featured in the Venice Biennale, The Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, London; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC; The Jeu de Paume, Paris; The Palazzo Strozzi, Florence IT; and many major museums and galleries throughout the world. Professor Thomas Germano will present the art of Ai Weiwei in a multi media visual lecture. 

Please note that this will be a hybrid event. Participants are invited to join us in person or via Zoom.
