To accompany the Ai Weiwei - Circle of Animals / Zodiac Heads exhibition, this headline talk of the series will look to examine not only Ai Weiwei's practice but his activism and iconoclastic status as one of the most daring and significant Chinese artists creating work today. In the wake of the artist's arrest by Chinese authorities, key cultural figures will reflect on Ai Weiwei's life, art and far-reaching influence.
Speakers include:
Peter Aspden - Journalist, Financial Times
Juliet Bingham - Curator, Tate Modern
Ekow Eshun - Writer & Broadcaster
Alan Yentob - BBC Creative Director
