IDP Taiwan Fair - Kaohsiung

This lecture is part of the 2022-23 SOAS Taiwan Studies Seminar Series.

This open-to-all lecture will focus on the impact which the specific social, political and ethnic conditions of Taiwan had on the first encounters with Christianity, the subsequent missionary implantation of both Catholic and Protestant societies and, eventually, on the development of indigenous churches.

This round table discussion, which takes place in association with the SOAS Gallery exhibition ‘Strange Wonders - Dreams, Desire and Daoism: Jizi and Other Pioneers of Contemporary Ink Painting from China’, will explore the relationship between Daoism and ink painting in contemporary China.
