TELUS TAIWANfest | August 23-25

Featuring tantalizing cooking demonstrations and musical performances by some of the top acts in Taiwan and much more. This year's theme is "Children of the Ocean."

Curatorial Statement

The Children of the Ocean

Culture is the acronym for the lifestyles in a civilization; it is beyond just stories of the past and the customs of the ancestors. The wisdom found beneath a culture truly embodies the foundation of the future and constantly steers the formation of a new culture.

While earth's global ocean is the largest confirmed surface on all observable planets, only so little was ever explored by human. Furthermore, the ocean is an integral part of all known life and influences our climate and weather patterns. Connecting continents and civilizations, the ocean symbolizes diversity, inclusiveness, and infinity and may hold the secret to advancing humanity.

Can Taiwan, an island nation where people are constantly battling with national identity, learn from her rich historical past and envision her future with inspiration from the ocean?

Charlie Wu, Managing Director ACSEA
