[Mar 27-30] 228 Memorial Program: Exhibition, Community Dialogue, Roundtable Discussion, Keynote Speech, and more

March 3, 2026

A series of exhibitions, discussions, and guided tours brings together historical sites and stories connected to the 228 Incident across many places in Taiwan, including Taipei, Hsinchu, Yilan, Taichung, Nantou, Keelung, Chiayi, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Hualien, Penghu. These images, discussions, and texts guide visitors into events often reduced to a single conflict, but which unfolded as prolonged oppression across countless sites. Whether preserved, transformed, or erased, these locations and histories continue to hold those stories.
一系列的展覽、座談與導覽匯集了台北、新竹、宜蘭、台中、南投、基隆、嘉義、台南、高雄、花蓮、澎湖及其他地區與二二八事件相關的歷史場址與故事。影像、對談與文字帶著觀眾走進曾經被簡化為一次衝突,實際上卻是長期在臺灣各地發生的種種壓迫事件,無數生命的犧牲在臺灣各個場域刻下充滿血與淚的傷痕,這些場址與歷史無論被保存、改造或抹去,至今仍承載著那些不應被遺忘的故事。
RSVP required for all the events included in this program.
