Book Overview

by Ai Weiwei (Author)

Ai Weiwei is one of contemporary art's greatest practitioners. He has been a voice for artistic and personal freedom of expression for decades within his native China and around the world.

This publication offers a compelling exploration of censorship and self--censorship. Drawing on his personal experiences and advocacy for human rights, Ai Weiwei provides a uniquely informed perspective. He examines how censorship persists in authoritarian regimes as well as subtly within democratic frameworks, corporate power, the arts, and social media, arguing that its concealed and pervasive nature poses a significant threat to genuine expression. This thought--provoking work by a singular voice invites readers to critically reconsider power, ideology, and the boundaries of free speech.
