On the tip of a wave : how Ai Weiwei's art is changing the tide / by Joanna Ho ; illustrated by Cátia Chien.

Ho, Joanna, (author.). Chien, Catia, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Told in Joanna Ho's lyrical writing, this is the story behind Ai Weiwei's Lifejackets exhibit at Konzerthaus Berlin. As conditions for refugees got worse, Ai Weiwei was inspired by the discarded lifejackets on the shores of Lesbos to create a bold installation that would grab the attention of the world. With Catia Chien's ... illustrations, we see how Ai Weiwei became the activist and artist he is today while proving the power of art within humanity"-- Provided by publisher.
