Towards social inclusion in Taiwan: museums, equality and indigenous groups

In contemporary Taiwan, museum exhibitions and initiatives increasingly engage with a broad spectrum of social issues – including human rights, gender equality, immigration, and the healing of collective traumas – and there is a growing concern amongst practitioners with the representation of social and cultural diversity, particularly in relation to indigenous groups. Drawing on recent fieldwork, this chapter explores the changing, increasingly significant role that Taiwanese museums are playing in the pursuit of social justice and equality.
