SAP-891: Made in Taiwan

What does it mean to be made in Taiwan? What makes something or someone Taiwanese? Why should we care? In this studio we will be looking at Taiwan through the perceived Other: from original people, to migrant mothers, to the new second generation. The Made in Taiwan project, in partnership with local partner, Garden of Hope, seeks to explore and uncover topics that are less obvious and well-travelled, to understand what it means to be "native" using the environs of Taiwan as our setting and case study. By extension students will have the opportunity to uncover and reflect upon their own native origins and roots. Bringing together theory, practice, and everyday life we will surface and articulate insights and human truths that connect us all.
