About this Event

Join History of Art for the next talk in the Research Seminar Series chaired by Prof. Chia-Ling Yang.

This lecture will be hybrid. Please book your ticket for attendance in person or online.


2025 Spotlight Taiwan Project - Hospice Care of the Post-Republican

This talk explores artistic projects confronting Taiwan’s historical trauma, postcolonial identity and authoritarian legacy. From Territory Take Over to Republic of Cynic, Yao's projects employ satire and black comedy to critique state ideologies, expose geopolitical absurdities and reflect on individuals' psychological burdens in a cynical society.
