As Taiwanese society was coming to terms with a new political reality
in the 1970s and 1980s, many artists and intellectuals addressed
issues of locality, history and cultural identity. Despite the
pressure on civil society, Taiwans visual culture flourished, with
photography playing a key role as a visual medium that intersected
many creative practices and platforms. Pioneering photographers
produced groundbreaking works across these decades, from experimental
art to photojournalism and much in between. Drawn from the collection
of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, with some additional works
loaned directly from the artists, this broad selection of photographs
reflects the diversity and shifting experiences of Taiwanese society
and culture at this pivotal time. "Wayfaring" features 35 still images
by 12 artists, including Chang Chao-Tang, Chien Yun-Ping, Chuang Ling
Ho Ching-Tai, Hou Tsung-Hui, Hsieh Chun-Te, Hsieh San-Tai Juan I-Jong,
Kao Chung-Li, Lien Hui-Ling, Wang Hsin, Yeh Ching-Fang Curated by Dr
Shuxia Chen and Dr Olivier Krischer
