Contemporary Taiwanese women's arts: curating a movement into art

Abstract

The post-1987 liberalisation of society and blossoming of feminist movements in Taiwan opened space for female artists, who spearheaded the reinterpretation of gender, class and ethnicity in a patriarchal society. Amid the ambivalence and heterogeneity induced in Taiwanese culture by its colonial history, women began to express their cultural 'in-betweenness' and modernity in curated exhibitions.
