<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Talking Taiwan’s inaugural fundraising gala was on April 30<sup>th</sup> here in New York City at the elegant Eichholtz showroom in Chelsea. The gala was a celebration of Taiwanese American cuisine, culture and community.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">We had Peter Lin’s AAPI Jazz Collective perform, and food catered by 886 Restaurant, DAE tea and Taiwan Beer. It was a memorable, magical night and if you’re wondering what you missed out on it, don’t worry, later on in the episode I’ll be sharing how you can watch the replay that we made of the event. We’ll also share the Humanitix link where you can make a donation to watch the replay of the Talking Taiwan Gala.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">At the gala I interviewed comedian Esther Chen, Thomas Duh of DAE Tea, artist Kaarina Chu MacKenzie, and Jonny Lee, President of TAP-NY (Taiwanese American Professionals- NY chapter). And that’s what we’ll be sharing in this episode.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Have you heard about the great recall movement that’s happening in Taiwan? What’s it all about?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">24 lawmakers, or legislators from the Chinese Nationalist Kuomintang KMT party are being put up for a recall vote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I don’t think the world has ever seen anything like this happen on a national level in a democracy- 24 lawmakers being recalled from office, and that number is likely to be even higher at the time that this episode gets released. It’s truly unprecedented!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This recall vote certainly didn’t happen overnight. It was through dedicated grassroots efforts, of the everyday people of Taiwan. Questions have been raised as to whether the recall efforts are a partisan politically motivated effort on the part of the Democratic Progressive Party to oust KMT legislators.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s what I wanted to get to the bottom of in this episode as I talked to some of the volunteers who have been boots on the ground in Taiwan’s recall effort.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you’ll hear in this episode, what’s happening in Taiwan is a historic demonstration of the will of the people to exercise their rights in a democracy.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> island-wide effort in Taiwan to recall lawmakers has been going on since last year and I sat down to speak to three volunteers Carol, Acho and Eric about how this mass movement has successfully gone through two stages, first signatures from 1% of eligible voters in a legislator’s district must be collected to initiate a recall. Then in the second stage signatures from 10% of eligible voters in a legislator’s district must be collected to in order for a recall vote to proceed. The hard part is that the signatures on the 1% and 10% petitions cannot be the same.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On July 26 Taiwan’s Central Election Commission (CEC) will hold recall votes for now possibly even more than 24 KMT lawmakers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Special thanks to Julien </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oeuillet</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the Founding Editor of IPON (</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">the Indo-Pacific Open News) for his help in making this interview possible.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode of Talking Taiwan, I started off speaking with Taiwanese American documentary filmmaker Hsuan Yu Pan about how she got interested in documentary filmmaking. As we talked about her films, we covered a broad range of topics from the COVID-19 pandemic to parallels between the 2017 travel bans that barred people from seven Muslim majority countries from entering the U.S. and internment of Japanese Americans in the1940s. Time and time again entire groups of people have been targeted and blamed. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This led us back to the pandemic and recalling the high incidence of Asian hate that happened at that time. Her current film project Hear, Eat, Home touches on many of these topics including the Syrian Revolution and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. After speaking to Hsuan Yu I get the sense that through her documentary filmmaking she wishes to create understanding so that history doesn’t repeat itself and to foster more empathy in the world. </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Isa Ho is a photographer based in Taiwan. Last year I spoke with her about her photography and the Westbeth Exhibit in NYC, which consists of a series of photos and videos of artists who live at Westbeth Artists Housing, which is located in New York City’s West Village.</p>
<p>Westbeth is so named because it sits at the corner of West and Bethune Streets, and was conceived in the 1960&#8217;s as a partial solution to the acute need to provide affordable housing and studios for artists and their families.</p>
<p>The abandoned 13-building complex that was constructed between the 1860s and the 1930s, was formerly used by Bell Telephone Labs, and was turned into affordable permanent housing and workspace for hundreds of artists, as well as space for arts and cultural organizations. Westbeth was the first subsidized housing for artists in the United States. In 2009 it was added to the National Registrar of Historic Places. And in 2011 the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission unanimously designated Westbeth Artists Housing a New York City landmark.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Here’s a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Isa’s exhibit at the Westbeth gallery that features her photos and videos of artists who reside at Westbeth</li>
<li>How Isa is working on a documentary about the residents of Westbeth</li>
<li>How Isa arrived for a residency at Westbeth in 2013 after Hurricane Sandy</li>
<li>The residency project that brought Isa to Westbeth was initially about multicultural New York but as she got to know many of the people who lived at Westbeth, it became the Westbeth project</li>
<li>Isa’s connection to Taiwan</li>
<li>How Isa is fascinated by people</li>
<li>Isa has interviewed over 50 people and what was on display at the Westbeth gallery is only a third of her work</li>
<li>The personal stories of several of the artist who live at Westbeth</li>
<li>How the photos and videos were displayed at the Westbeth gallery</li>
<li>How the Westbeth project has been exhibited in Israel, Italy, Germany and Taiwan</li>
<li>How people have reacted to the Westbeth project</li>
<li>How one of the pieces of the Westbeth project won an award in Italy</li>
<li>How Isa got interested in photography</li>
<li>How Isa creates a collage of photos that serve to tell a person’s story</li>
<li>How Isa does her photography full-time</li>
<li>Isa’s advice to those interested in pursuing photography</li>
<li>Isa’s video comparing the movements of Kunqu opera dancer and K-POP dancer</li>
<li>Why Isa is planning to go to Ukraine</li>
<li>How Isa felt useless as an artist during the pandemic but realized that when facing tragedy or if feeling like there is nothing that we can do, art can connect us with humanity</li>
<li>How there aren’t many housing communities like Westbeth in the world</li>
<li>The wait list of people who want to live at Westbeth</li>
<li>How one of the Westbeth residents George Cominskie has advocated for artists</li>
</ul>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Taiwan Presidential Debate 2024 with insights by political analyst Courtney Donovan Smith.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On December 30<sup>th</sup>  there was a debate held between Taiwan’s three presidential candidates Lai Ching-te (賴清德), the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) nominee Hou Yu-ih (侯友宜), the Kuomintang (KMT) nominee and Ko Wen-je (柯文哲), the Taiwan People&#8217;s Party (TPP) nominee. The three candidates started with eight minutes each to present their candidacy, that was followed by a media question answer session, and then in the second half each candidate had a chance to question each other. I sat down and spoke with political commentator Courtney Donovan Smith who shared his thoughts and observations about the debate.</p>

<li style="font-weight: 400;">During the debate Ko Wen-je claimed that the Sunflower Movement was a protest against black box political dealings and not a protest of the services trade pact, when it in fact was a protest about both black box political dealings and the services trade pact</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:</h2>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When Taiwan went in to soft lockdown in May, a group of diaspora who had moved there decided a Covid 19 Taiwan fundraiser for organizations assisting society’s most vulnerable was needed. They created the Taiwan Covid Relief Fundraiser and before they launched it, I spoke with three of the seven organizers- Catherine, Kevin and Jane.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">We talked about how the charities benefitting from the fundraiser provide direct assistance to the homeless, disabled, migrant workers and survivors of domestic violence, and how all donations will go directly to the participating organizations. The fundraiser’s organizing team has pledged to match the first $10,000 donated. The team’s novel approach to organizing the Taiwan Covid Relief Fundraiser has given the charity organizations greater exposure to English language speakers and international donors.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Since this interview was recorded and the fundraiser was launched the matching goal of $10,000 was reached in the first 3 days. The Taiwan Covid Relief Fundraiser organizing team has secured an additional $15,000 of matching donations so now the fundraising goal is $25,000, which when matched will mean that a total of $50,000 would be raised.</p>

<h2><b>A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:</b></h2>
</div>
<p>I first learned about Treya, an up-and-coming musician with an amazing voice about two years ago, when she was profiled on<a href="http://www.taiwaneseamerican.org/"> TaiwaneseAmerican.org</a>. From then on she was definitely on my radar to have as a guest on the Talking Taiwan, but somehow the timing was just not right for it. As I waited for the stars to align, I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing her perform live several times. Now it’s time for me to have her on Talking Taiwan as a guest, and the timing couldn’t be better as Treya is in the midst of a Pledge Music campaign to raise funds for her first album. She’s running a sort of crowdfunding campaign, which I happen to know a thing or two about. So I am really thrilled to be able support her at this time, and to let others know about her huge talent. On top of all this I have the distinct honor of being the first on record to have done an audio interview with her!</p>
