Wu Hung trained as a monk before his journey into animal advocacy began and it is these teachings in the  ‘inconsistencies of life' that led him to believe he could change the future for animals in Taiwan. Through liaising with government officials, top business people and the general public, as well as predictable pushback from the industry, navigating the complexities of a relatively new movement in Taiwan has not been easy for EAST. We hear about these challenges and also how members of the global north can support this important work in Taiwan. Relevant links to things mentioned throughout the show:EAST website00:00:00:00 | Intro00:02:32:07 | A recent mistake others can learn from00:06:44:05 | Wu Hung's beginning in the animal rights movement00:10:48:11 | The Movement in Taiwan00:19:00:13 | Welfare challenges specific to Taiwan00:26:12:11 | Food security and quality00:32:59:10 | Cage free eggs in supermarkets00:37:59:18 | Main focus area of EAST00:40:56:23 | Cage free commitments00:47:27:01 | Fish welfare campaign00:54:31:18 | Staying motivated with Budhism00:59:18:23 | Closing questionsIf you enjoy the show, please leave a rating and review us - we would really appreciate it!

China Transformed: Artscape / Cityscape China is the epicenter of rapid urbanization, provoking responses from artists, photographers, and filmmakers whose focus ranges from optimistic expansiveness to radical dislocation. In this two-day international symposium, leading curators, critics and scholars will look at artists working in different mediums as they react to the new Chinese megacity. The keynote speaker will be the international authority on classical and contemporary Chinese art Wu Hung. Other participants include Julia Andrews, Hou Hanru, Wendy Larson, William Schaefer, Kuiyi Shen, Jerome Silbergeld, Pauline J. Yao, Deng Kunyan, Bérénice Reynaud, and Zheng Shengtian. Organized by Department of History of Art, Institute of East Asian Studies, Center for Chinese Studies, Division of the Arts and the Humanities, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, and the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. Keynote speaker: Wu Hung Contemporary Chinese Art and China's Urban Transformation The past twenty five years have witness two parallel changes in Chinese art and living environment, each unprecedented in the country's history. Whereas all the major urban centers have undergone a process of radical and at times traumatic transformation, contemporary art has also developed from scattered "un-official" expressions to a broad field encompassing divergent stylistic and ideological trends. This lecture explores the connections between these two developments through identifying various modes of architectural representations and relating these visual modes to the changing experience of the artists in the material landscape of metamorphoses like Beijing and Shanghai.
