Biennale of Sydney – Ai Weiwei – 70 metre "lifeboat of refugees"


The Biennale of Sydney is preparing to welcome the largest ever lifeboat of refugees to Sydney Harbour in March 2018: a 70-metre black rubber vessel bearing 258 passengers, courtesy of Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei.

It is made from the same material as many of the dinghies carrying refugees from Turkey to Greece across the Aegean Sea.
