Digital Art, Photography, AI, Tai Mei ‘s work has it all wit a focus on her identity as a Taiwanese Artist!
January 28th at 藝術宮 Artgong in 台北,台灣 (Taipei, Taiwan), my Glitch Art Gallery exhibition of Digital Art will incl her work! 🖼️
as she writes in her description of her work On Guard V2: “Understanding the history of Taiwan and the hundreds of years of Taiwanese resistance has made me understand what it means to be “Taiwanese” and “Tai-Mei””
she explains her Taiwanese identity further in her work Losing Mother Tongue: “My grandparents were forced to learn Japanese and call themselves Japanese during 50 years of Japanese colonial dictatorship.
My parents were forced to learn Mandarin and call themselves Chinese during 40 years of ROC Chinese nationalist’s colonial dictatorship…
We, the Taiwanese finally are free to govern ourselves, as we’ve fought for centuries,” — Tai Mei
