I spent the month of August in China, spending most of the time in Beijing hanging out with my brother and his girlfriend who live there. I also travelled to Shanghai and Chengdu. I had the most amazing time. One of the highlights was getting to see Ai Weiwei’s first solo exhibition in Beijing. Ai Weiwei is one of my favourite artists, I have watched his movies, followed his art career as well as his work as an activist. It was very overwhelming seeing his work in person for the first time at the Tang Contemporary Art Center in the 798 District of Beijing.
