Description

While democracies worldwide are struggling amidst the polycrises of our time, the small island nation of Taiwan shows remarkable resilience. Neither societal division nor the growing pressure from the authoritarian People's Republic of China seem to weaken the citizens' belief in their right to participate. Together with former Digital Minister Audrey Tang, Monika Treut explores the activist scene of the country, where democracy is more than just an institution. Using the engagement of queer and feminist thinkers, it shows what lived democracy can mean in highly technological times. A guide to recreating. More information at www.luststreifen.com.
