TAIWANfest: Gender Inclusivity in Chinese-speaking Communities 台灣節論壇: 華語社區與性別包容

About this event

Adults. Topics such as gender, the body, and intimacy are often considered "taboo" in the Chinese-speaking community. This year, TAIWANfest extends an invitation to the Chinese-speaking community through a series of lectures, literary events, music, and art programs. From sexual violence, sexual trauma, LGBTQ+ rights, and transgender experiences to explorations of the body and self, the festival hopes to provide an opportunity for unspoken experiences to be heard, fostering mutual understanding across generations. Featuring a panel discussion with Taiwanese novelist Louise Lee-Hsiu and local queer theatre producer Yanting Qiu. This event will be conducted in Mandarin. In partnership with Vancouver TAIWANfest. 性別、身體、親密關係與身份認同，往往因文化中的沉默、羞恥與世代差異而被壓抑。台灣節策展團隊將分享今年台灣節如何藉音樂、文學與社群經驗作為入口，討論華語社區裡那些始終難以開口的議題，讓關於性暴力、性創傷、同志權益與自我探索的經驗被聽見，也為不同世代創造更多理解彼此的可能。講座邀請台灣作家李秀與本地酷儿劇場製作人Yanting Qiu共同參與座談。 與溫哥華台灣節合辦 Accessibility Information VPL is committed to making our programs accessible for all.
