Globally acclaimed artist Ai Weiwei presents 'Resilience' at MAXXI L'Aquila, an exhibition spanning five decades of his work and focusing on memory, catastrophe, and human perseverance. The centerpiece is 'Straight,' an installation of reassembled steel rebar from the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, a stark memorial to the tragedy and a critique of shoddy construction.
The exhibition, housed in L'Aquila – a city rebuilt after its own earthquake – resonates deeply, transforming fragments of destruction into symbols of survival and renewal. Ai Weiwei's practice, a fusion of art and activism, challenges viewers to confront injustice and bear witness to suffering.
