100 Years of Taiwanese Voice & 30th Anniversary of ITH

Publication date: 20 Oct 2023
Author: The Archives of Institute of Taiwan History

The 30th anniversary of the ITH coincides in 2023 with the centennial of the launching of ‘Taiwan Minpao.’ Both institutions are important milestones for the people of Taiwan coming into the process of exercising their self-awareness, voicing their opinions accordingly and forging a consensus around the issue. With ‘100 Years of Taiwanese Voice’ and ‘30th Anniversary of ITH’ as focal points, the exhibition makes use of specially selected diaries, newspapers, old books, manuscripts and photographs retracing the 1920s and how contemporary Taiwanese popularized ideas by means of the press, thereby sowing the seeds of conviction for change. The founding and subsequent development of the ITH help to explore Taiwan’s journey from the yoke of martial law to the state of diversity as well as the evolution of Taiwanese history from a marginal academic discipline to a new frontier in mainstream academic research.

V. Archives and Publications Related to Taiwan Art in the ITH Archives

When Taiwanese artists cross boundaries, they not only create paintings in different world views but also reflect on the values of their roots. Whether in the art paradise of Paris or in the cosmopolitan Shanghai, these artists were inspired by foreign cultures and abundant art trends. Base on the firm foundation of art training, they boldly exploited their potential and developed wider dimensions of their own creating styles, adding various themes and stimuli to the development of Taiwan art. Regardless of whether they went back to Taiwan or stayed abroad after finishing their training, these artists kept referring the natural and cultural spirit of their country through artwork, continually promoting the arts and cultures of Taiwan.

In recent years, the ITH Archives has digitized and cataloged Taiwan senior artists’ records and artworks in order to support academic research in art history and preserve cultural heritages of Taiwan.
