Once upon a time, there was the “1990s,” in which LGBTQ people started to construct identity and alliances in Taiwan. Through the project of “Representation, Resistance, Reconciliation: Tracing the History of Tongzhi Stigma in Taiwan,” we will hold 3 panels with experienced LGBTQ activists to discuss and trace the significant historical moments.

Seeking articles about gathering weeds in the city, welcome to share the different experiences and interactions with the land. Listening to people of different generations talk about their feelings of collecting weeds. All writing styles are welcome i.e. poetry, love letter…etc.. Let the words move the readers.

In the city there is an abundance of weeds, that are common herbal tea ingredients, wild vegetables and living materials. Through the observation, we can have an intimate connection with the land, create biodiversity in the city, heal yourself and the land. We invited experts from different fields to explore the possibilities and imaginations of collecting life in urban cities.

The important starting point of MASHUP all the CREATORS is an aim to extend the practices during “CREATORS Residency Program,” to explore possibilities of connection and hybridity, and to further find a new form of exhibition/performance/representation. It is not merely a performance, not merely an exhibition, not merely an archive or documentation of an event. It is, in additional to all, a manifesto of a newly-established cultural ecosystem declared by the C-LAB.
