In Toronto: 1,001 Chairs for Ai Wei Wei

 This video was shot at the Toronto action for 1,001 Chairs for Ai Weiwei, an event which took place around the globe on April 17, 2011, to protest the arrest and disappearance of the Chinese artist. Here, KWT artist and event co-organizer Svava Thordis Juliusson discusses the importance of the protest. Her comments accompany a canadianart.ca report by editor Richard Rhodes on the event.
