An exhibition showcasing Ai Weiwei’s five-decade career, from works created in New York in the 1980s to new sculptures created in Ukraine in 2025.
At the heart of the exhibition is a collection of works inspired by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, presented in the Baroque halls of Palazzo Ardinghelli, a building that symbolizes the city’s rebirth following the earthquake that struck L’Aquila in 2009. In this context, the exhibition explores the lasting impact of natural disasters, conflicts, corruption, and collective tragedies, emphasizing human resilience and the power of the creative act as a form of testimony and transformation.
