Ai WeiWei @Large: Arts & Activism on Alcatraz
Description
Join other LGBTQ families on an excursion to Alcatraz Island to view Ai Weiwei’s installation, @Large: Arts & Activism on Alcatraz.
Ai Weiwei is a Beijing-based artist and activist whose work encompasses a range of media and defies the distinction between art and activism.
In this exhibition of new works created specifically for Alcatraz, Ai responds to the island’s layered legacy as a 19th-century military fortress, a notorious federal penitentiary, a site of Native American heritage and protest, and now one of America’s most visited national parks. Revealing new perspectives on Alcatraz, the exhibition raises questions about freedom of expression and human rights that resonate far beyond this particular place.
Recommended for all ages, as the artist intended to reach multiple generations.
Ferry leaves from Pier 33 (map) at 10am.
Tickets and ferry trip (a $30 value for adults) are provided free of charge, thanks to Crissy Field Center, a portion of the National Park Service.
Limit of four tickets per family.
