Focusing primarily on the two major modern colonizations of Taiwan by the Dutch and the Japanese, New York City-based artist Jason Cole Mager illustrates the coming and going of cultures by placing one symbol next to, on top of, or completely replacing another.
These are history paintings that may appear as nothing more than decoration or wallpaper to viewers who are not intimately familiar with the historical significance of the symbols. Mager posits that politics is inherently linked to history and advocates for its potential as a unifying rather than a polarizing force. He asserts, โ€œThese moments present opportunities for mutual learning and the cultivation of compassion. Although history is replete with tragedies, it serves as a crucial reservoir of insights relevant to both contemporary life and artistic expression.โ€
Join us for May Coffee Morning as we invite Jason Cole Mager for a relaxed and engaging morning of coffee, conversation, and community. Over free refreshments, participants will have the chance to hear more about his work, connect with others from across the international community, and enjoy thoughtful discussion in a welcoming setting.
