it is notable that three universities in North America and Europe turned down the offer of a gift of a cast of this bust of Liu before it was accepted by the Irish Centre for Human Rights at the University of Galway.
One university cited “security concerns” in relation to protecting the artwork. Another claimed that it did not accept busts of “political figures”, when there were already several such busts on its campus. A third said it didn’t have “space” for the bust.
It would be nice if we were actually told which three universities these were. Literally all we’re told is that there’s three of them in total that were offered but declined.
Honestly a number of these were abandoned for reasons that are fair enough.
Additionally, lots of these are open source and either have been or can be forked.
