From 21th September until 4th May 2025, Palazzo Fava will host the exhibition of the Chinese artist and activist and his creative universe among large installations, sculptures, videos and photographs which will literally completely invade the historic Bolognese palace.

Ai Weiwei, a Chinese artist who has always been committed to the defense of human rights, presents himself in Bologna with his first solo show: “Ai Weiwei. Who am I?”. Promoted by Fondazione Carisbo as part of theGenus Bononiae cultural project  and produced by Opera Laboratori in collaboration with Galleria Continua, the exhibition is curated by Arturo Galansino. As the title indicates, inspired by the artist’s conversation with artificial intelligence, the exhibition at Palazzo Fava presents the artist and his creative universe, in a continuous tension between tradition and experimentation, conservation and destruction. Ai Weiwei’s commitment and constant search for the truth, which led to his political persecution, combined with his ability to use a wide range of media to express complex and provocative ideas, makes this exhibition a seminal event in the contemporary artistic panorama.
