In March 2014, young people led Taiwan’s Sunflower Movement which in time completely reversed the course of Taiwan’s foreign and domestic policy. On the 10th anniversary of the movement, we organize a program and exhibition which points out that social and political change is won through the brave spirit and effort of the movement leaders and the people - not awarded as a lucky accident. This exhibition will involve 10 more artists celebrating peoples’ political movements that took place around the world circa 2014. We select 5 movements: the Sunflower Movement, the Arab Spring, the Chilean Winter, the Ukrainian Euromaidan movement, and Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement – all of approximately the same era as Taiwan’s Sunflower movement – to which artists will respond.

This exhibition thus celebrates youth-led popular movements of approximately 10 years vintage and highlights both the similarities and differences between them. Social and political change is never straightforward and compartmentalized, let alone complete – which is why we have chosen a variety of such movements.
