Studio glass

Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei warns against hubris in what he calls "such a troublesome time" with his first glass sculpture, made on the Venetian island of Murano, with the foreboding subtitle: "Memento Mori," Latin for "Remember You Must Die."

"Esma," a short film by Turkish glass artist Felekşan Onar, will premiere during the Venice Glass Week 2019 following the conference "Murano-Istanbul: A glass making journey II."
