CULTURES FERMENTED
Culture is something that is carved by history and shaped by the people that live and experience it every day. Taiwan and South Korea are both rich in culture, sharing many aspects yet remaining unique.
Languages can often expand our imagination or frame our thinking. Concepts expressed through written text in a multicultural environment can be mis-interpreted due to different life experiences of the intended audience. Visual expressions are not only important to allow the audience to interact freely with the artist but also be critical as a vehicle for suppressed voices.

Sorry Youth X TAIWANfest
These missing memories of Taiwan’s post-war democracy, were not only erased from the history textbooks of Taiwan, they were barely even recorded or mentioned at all. 2021 TAIWANfest presents a short animated film to tell the story of these unsung heroes.
