The Wedding Banquet
A Celebration of Same-Sex Marriage in Taiwan and Beyond
NEW YORK • 2019
囍宴
台灣同志的結婚奮鬥史
台灣在2019年5月17日完成了同性婚姻的立法,成為亞洲第一個通過同婚的國家。
本次展覽以台灣傳統結婚文化來介紹台灣的同性婚姻運動,以「台灣同志辦喜事」作為展覽核心,從1993年李安執導的電影《 囍宴》發想,透過台式囍宴的特殊文化,輔以互動裝置呈現同性婚姻合法化的過程,以及婚權運動遭受的困境和台灣爭取民主、自由、人權的歷史。
適逢紐約同志大遊行期間以及石牆事件50週年,本展覽除了呼應主流社會關心同志權益的趨勢之外,也想向國際社會分享「非西方」的台灣經驗來宣揚普世人權的價值,邀請全球各地的朋友一起慶祝這份喜悅!
The Wedding Banquet
A Celebration of Same-Sex Marriage in Taiwan and Beyond
Taiwan legalized same-sex marriage on May 17, 2019, the first in Asia to do so. This exhibition shares Taiwan's experience through decades of conflicts, social movements, and optimism to make this change possible.
The title of the exhibition, “The Wedding Banquet,” refers to Ang Lee’s famous movie from 1993. Like the movie, this exhibition brings stories of Taiwan’s LGBTQ+ community, as well as its changing wedding culture, to international audiences. The exhibition opens on June 28, 2019, in unity with NYC’s Pride month and 50th anniversary of Stonewall, to celebrate not only Taiwan's achievement, but also the LGBTQ+ community worldwide.

今天之後,彩虹應該是自然的存在我們身邊。
在1993年,李安拍了囍宴,講述同志辦了一場假的婚禮,在2019的今日,台灣的同志終於可以有一場真的婚禮。
今天以後,彩虹不應該是特別的,根據這個概念,我們將整個展場用彩虹色的LED 包圍,讓觀眾跟我們一起走進彩虹。
