The Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, a long-time defender of human rights, is holding his first solo exhibition in Bologna: "Ai Weiwei. Who am I?".

Promoted by Fondazione Carisbo as part of the Genus Bononiae cultural project and produced by Opera Laboratori in collaboration with Galleria Continua, the exhibition is curated by Arturo Galansino. As the title suggests, inspired by a conversation between the artist and artificial intelligence, the exhibition at Palazzo Fava presents the artist and his creative universe in a constant tension between tradition and experimentation, preservation and destruction. Ai Weiwei's commitment to a relentless search for truth, which has led to his status as a political dissident, combined with his ability to use a wide range of media to convey complex and provocative ideas, make this exhibition a key event in the contemporary art scene.

Via Manzoni 2, Bologna

Tuesday - Sunday
10 am – 7 pm (last entry 6 pm)
