Abstract
- This review article looks at "Oppression and Overcoming: Social Movements in Post-War Taiwan" (2019.5.28–2020.5.17), an exhibition at the National Museum of Taiwan History (NTHM) through approaches of museum studies and social movement studies, and aims to understand its implication for doing Taiwan Studies. This review concludes that "Oppression and Overcoming" is significant as a novel museological practice by being part of a continuation of social movements, which transformed the museum to a space for civil participation and dialogue. This allows the exhibition to become a window for both citizens and foreigners to understand and realize Taiwan's vibrant democracy and civil society. In addition, this review suggests that future exhibitions on social movements could demonstrate the possibility to position Taiwan in a global context to better connect with other countries in the Asian region.
