On April 3rd, artist Ai Weiwei was arrested at the airport of Beijing, and no one knows what’s happening to him since then. Ai Weiwei’s critical art has always upset the Chinese authorities, and even if Ai Weiwei is now internationally acclaimed, that didn’t stop them from incarcerating him. International art institutions and human-rights groups have been requesting for his release. In different places of the world, manifestations took place outside the Chinese embassies to show protest.
His friend and gallery owner Mrs. Misa Shin will give a talk on his situation along with art and freedom in China. We will be more than happy to have you with us to discuss all together the possibilities of our actions for his release.
The talk will be translated into English.

Entrance fees (including a drink) are 1,000 yen in advance and 1,300 yen at the door.
