"...a moving text about the life and work of social activist and artist, Ai Weiwei. Told in...lyrical writing, this story shines a light on Ai Weiwei's journey and focuses on Safe Psasage, his exhibition of thousands of life jackets at the Konzerthaus Berlin. Moved by the life jackets discarded on the shores of the Greek Island of Lesbos by people seeking safety far from home, Ai weiwei created a bold installation that grabbed the world's attention."-- Provided by the publisher.
