Royal Academy of Arts, London, UK. 17th September, 2015. Ai Weiwei and Anish Kapoor take part in a protest walk beginning from The Royal Academy of Arts in central London. The two controversial artists were joined by fellow protesters to walk 7 miles across London to Stratford to raise awareness of the plight of refugees streaming into Europe fleeing violence in the Middle East. Demonstrators were asked to carry a single blanket to symbolise the plight of the world’s refugees. Mr. Kapoor called the blankets, “A symbol of the need that faces 60 million refugees in our world today.” Pictured: Ai Weiwei and Anish Kapoor give interviews and pose for the cameras at The Royal Academy of Arts before setting off on their walk.
