1000 Years Of Joys And Sorrows featuring Ai Wei Wei
We invite you to explore the world of Ai Weiwei, who has been hailed as “one of the most important artists working in the world today” by the Financial Times and as “an eloquent and seemingly unsilenceable voice of freedom” by the New York Times. He shares excerpts from his forthcoming memoir, 1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows, which tells a century-long epic tale of China through the story of his own extraordinary life and the legacy of his father—the nation’s most celebrated poet.

In Their Hands: Women Taking Ownership Of Peace
Through the lens of local women photographers, we seek to elevate, amplify and increase the visibility of womens’ participation in, and their essential contributions to, peace and security. From Mali to Colombia, Yemen and South Sudan, we want to invite you to discover the stories of women who have taken peace into their own hands, and how the UN supports them in building sustainable peace. With these inspiring stories we seek to mobilize support and raise awareness on the indispensable role women play in promoting peace and building a better world.

The exhibition originated in a collaboration with the Park Avenue Armory entitled 100 Years/100 Women that brought together 100 commissioned artists and cultural creators to respond to and interrogate women’s suffrage.
