SafePassage

Foam [photography museum Amsterdam] presents "SafePassage", an exhibition by Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei.

Having left a life of constant government surveillance, the artist feels a personal affinity with the growing influx of refugees attempting to enter the EU. Since his first visit to the Greek island of Lesbos in December 2015, he and his team have travelled to refugee camps all around the Mediterranean etc.

The walls of Foam is plastered with thousands of pictures he took with his mobile phone, mostly candid shots which provide a sense of the living conditions within the camps.
