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 approximately 10 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.
Chief Curator: Luchia Meihua Lee Associate curator: Tzu-Ying Chan
Advisory/seminar team: Patrick Huang (黄再添）, Wei-Ting Chen (陳為廷), Yi-Lun Shih (施懿倫)

This exhibition thus celebrates youth-led popular movements of approximately 10 years vintage and simultaneously 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.

Last week of the exhibition Maiden's Prayer at the Thomas VanDyke Gallery
February 3 to 29, 2024.
Curated by Janine Y.C. Lai, Maiden's Prayer alludes to the semblance of peace in Taiwan.
Ms. Lai writes: The collective fragility of Taiwanese diasporic identity became an organic throughline that connects the works; a precarious collective selfhood we all can intuit, yet toil with. Artists: Yu Jei Yen, Selena Liu, Vanessa Chen, Christopher Lin, Jen Chen-su, Cindy Hsu, Polin Huang, Kuan Hsieh
