20260718 有緣千里 Echoes of the Borderline (Part1) 新加坡種族和平日 & 金門是飄著肉骨茶香的僑民之島 Welcome to Echoes of the Borderline. Join us on the third week of every month for the next six months, as we travel from the shores of Kinmen, Matsu, and Penghu to the frontlines of global conflict in places like Ukraine, Caucasus, Gaza, Southeast Asia and the Basque Country. We explore the resonance between our island resilience and the global search for peace. To ensure these stories—of survival, of memory, and of human dignity Peace is a universal language, and by sharing these stories in English, we transform local memories from Taiwan’s islands into a global resonance—inviting the world to listen, empathize, and practice the art of harmony together. The program is architecturally designed around Singapore’s Racial Harmony Day as the primary canvas for multicultural coexistence. Then, our today’s journey concludes in Kinmen, the island of migrants. Here, amidst the lingering scent of Bak Kut The (肉骨茶), we bridge the distance between modern coexistence and the ancient courage of our ancestors, finding that no matter how far we travel, our identity remains rooted in where we began.
