A review by sebswann
1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows by Ai Weiwei
5.0
“Self-expression is central to human existence. Without the sound of human voices, without warmth and color in our lives, without attentive glances, Earth is just an insensate rock suspended in space.”
If you like memoirs about dissident artists; Ai Weiwei’s story is powerful, his wisdom is thought-provoking and resolute, and his voice is deeply needed, especially at a time when authoritarianism is on the rise around the world and advocates for the disenfranchised, the displaced, and the persecuted are needed most.
