*Sold out* @Large: Ai Weiwei Alcatraz Tour with ASNC YPG
VIEW EVENT DETAILSThe day begins with a leisurely ferry ride over the sparkling waters of the Bay from Pier 33 to Alcatraz Island to network with your fellow members. We will have approximately 3-4 hours to enjoy Ai’s vision for converting Alcatraz into a space for dialogue about how we view human rights and the expression of oneself when those rights are suppressed. We will have full access to areas that are normally restricted to the public, such as the hospital and dining hall. The remaining time can be spent soaking in the history of the various cellblocks with the audio tour or exploring the tide pools and lighthouse on the grounds. We hope you will join us to view this amazing exhibit before it permanently closes on April 26. Please register as soon as possible to secure your spot as we only have a limited number of tickets available! For questions or more information about this program, please email ASNC YPG Leadership Council Treasurer Asahi Choi at [email protected].
For more information about the exhibit, please visit the @Large Ai Wei Wei on Alcatraz exhibit website.
@Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz is presented by the FOR-SITE Foundation in partnership with the National Park Service and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.
FAQs:
Where will we meet on the morning of Friday, April 24?
We will meet at Alcatraz Landing at Pier 33 in San Francisco near the @Large Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz exhibit sign. Please plan to arrive no later than 11:00 am so that we can check everyone in and prepare to board. Boarding for the 11:30 am ferry to Alcatraz will begin promptly at around 11 or 11:15 am. If you do not arrive on time, there is a chance that the ferry will leave without you. Please visit the Alcatraz Cruises website for parking and transportation instructions and maps.
What time can we expect to arrive back at Pier 33?
Boats depart from Alcatraz for the return trip approximately every half hour starting at 12:25 PM. You are welcome to stay with the group or take any scheduled boat back if you need to be back at Pier 33 by a certain time.
