Övrig information
Photographs of the 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi spread quickly around the world. He drowned in 2015, along with 4,000 others as they fled from war and poverty and tried to reach safety in Europe. The world was shocked and felt the urge to react. Weiwei, one of the most famous artists in the world has posed in an image that is drawing both praise and outrage. The photograph, shot by India Today photographer Rohit Chawla, features the Chinese artist on the same island, but with his face turned toward the camera's lens.
