One of Ai Weiwei’s most notable projects was the “Remembering” exhibition in 2009, which comprised 9,000 children’s backpacks displayed to commemorate the victims of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. The project aimed to spotlight the government’s inadequate response to the disaster and censorship of the death toll. In regards to key figures, Ai Weiwei has collaborated with visionary architects such as Herzog & de Meuron on projects like the Serpentine Pavilion in London, showcasing his multidisciplinary approach to art and design.
