The Face of Taiwanese Family in Boston is Emerging

“Through an Approach of Performance Art and Collective Memory, the Face of Taiwanese Family in Boston is Emerging.” This enlightening event will take you on a journey, tracing the path of Taiwanese immigrants from Taiwan to Boston.

We’ll delve into the rich narratives of these families, exploring their experiences, challenges, and triumphs. Through the lens of performance art, we’ll bring to life the collective memories that have shaped the identity of the Taiwanese community in Boston.

This talk is not just about recounting history, but about understanding the human experience behind the immigration process. It’s about acknowledging the courage it takes to leave the familiar behind and start anew in a foreign land. It’s about the resilience of maintaining one’s cultural heritage while adapting to a new environment.

As we navigate through these stories, you’ll witness the emergence of the face of the Taiwanese family in Boston – a testament to their strength, perseverance, and contribution to the multicultural fabric of the city.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the Taiwanese diaspora and the power of collective memory. We look forward to seeing you there!
