“There’s no refugee crisis, only a human crisis.”
The best work at Biennale this year for me... It shows a lot about the problems we have here.
I heard a quote once that I will never forget... “We are all boat people here in Australia. The only difference is few of us arrived earlier” 🤔

Ai Weiwei’s work exists in the space between art and activism, often blurring the boundaries between the two. Politically outspoken and an avid user of social media, Ai creates works rich with symbolism and metaphor that draw attention to social injustice. In recent years Ai has focused his practice on advocating for refugees’ human rights, documenting the experiences and conditions faced by millions of people who have been forcibly displaced from their homes. Speaking about the situation.In dealing with refugees we’ve lost our very basic values. In this time of uncertainty, we need more tolerance, compassion and trust for each other, since we are all one, otherwise humanity will face an even bigger crisis.

One of the buidings at Cockatoo Island Sydney - Australia 🇦🇺 Between 1839 and 1869, Cockatoo Island operated as a convict penal establishment, primarily as a place of secondary punishment for convicts who had re-offended in the colonies. Cockatoo Island was also the site of one of Australia's biggest shipyards, operating between 1857 and 1991.

Top of western pylon of Anzac Bridge. Unfortunately I couldn't do the same at the eastern pylon as there was a high signal interference.
