An internationally recognized artist and activist, Ai Weiwei has used his work to bring increased attention and visibility to human rights issues. Debuting in Berlin, with later iterations in Japan and Chile, Safe Passage marks its U.S. premiere at Mia. The installation comprises thousands of discarded lifejackets, worn by refugees making the dangerous sea journey from Turkey to Greece, to be installed on Mia’s exterior columns.

A large chemical storage tank becomes a self-playing polyrhythmic “host drum” that pounds out rhythms derived from Dakota songs. Artists Cristóbal Martínez and Kade L. Twist are working with the local Dakota community members to determine appropriate ceremonial rhythms. The drum’s placement in Mia’s Bruce B. Dayton Rotunda challenges the centrality of venerated objects like Mia’s Doryphoros—considered the ideal human form in ancient Greece—as foundational to the Western art historical canon.
