What is Ai Weiwei: Yours Truly About?
Renowned Beijing-based artist and activist Ai Weiwei created a socially engaging art show based on freedom of speech and political prisoners, following his detention by the Chinese government, while awaiting the return of his passport. The show, titled “@Large”, was put up at the famous island prison-turned-tourist destination Alcatraz in the United States and featured Lego portraits of several international political prisoners. Visitors to the art show could also send words of encouragement in postcards to the prisoner of their choice. This was an idea that Ai Weiwei came up with after he remembered the effect a similar postcard once had on his poet father, Ai Qing, as he too bore his detention for opposing the Chinese Nationalist Party. The movie ‘Ai Weiwei: Yours Truly’ follows the process of ideating and then setting up the “@Large” art show by Ai Weiwei, in collaboration with Cheryl Haines.
