Book
On the tip of a wave : how Ai Weiwei's art is changing the tide / written by Joanna Ho ; illustrated by Cátia Chien.
Told in Joanna Ho's signature lyrical writing, this story shines a light on Ai Weiwei's journey and focuses on Safe Passage, 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. Cátia Chien masterfully portrays the intricate life of Ai Weiwei with inspirations from woodblock printing and a special emphasis on the color orange, the same color as the life jackets that became a beacon of hope.
