A bird’s eye view of the Taiwan Exposition:  A kaleidoscope of colors fills the modern island capital of Taipeh—no, Taihoku City (臺北市), Taiwan. Pinks, yellows, blues, greens, reds, oranges, and white. Winding around the metropolis, Sin-tiàm-khe (新店溪) flows into the the Tām-chúi-hô (淡水河) flows into the sea.  In front of the Taihoku Railway Station (臺北驛), the Grand Arch proudly welcomes you to the vibrant city. The two geometric archways stand like local door gods, one on the left and one on the right, their tiered crowns topped with Japanese flags. On the plaques, in large font:  Taiwan Exposition: In Commemoration of the First Forty Years of Colonial Rule  始政四十周年記念  臺灣博覽會

my full piece for the @hwsrazzledazzle zine, and a collab with/based on an idea by @bubbleteahime

“Taiwan visits The Taiwan Exposition of 1935, a grand spectacle put on to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Japanese colonisation. In a series of encounters, she gets confronted with the realities of her nation’s peculiar situation as a prosperous colony in the years just before the outbreak of World War Two.”
