Ai Weiwei Charity Work, Events and Causes

Ai Weiwei Has Been Silenced... For Now   Apr 26, 2011

In a video secretly recorded by Chinese artist and political and social activist Ai Weiwei for last month’s TED conference, Ai says, “I live in a society in which freedom of speech is not allowed. It’s very hard to find individual expression through media or through any public territories. To help China to become a more democratic society, you need people who can act, who can give out their opinions. I talk to the young people. I’m trying to find a way to encourage people to be involved. Only when you are doing that you can have a civil society.”
