Asia On-Site: Taiwan and the Asian Games Special Exhibition
In 2026, coinciding with the 20th Asian Games (hereinafter referred to as the Asian Games), this exhibition takes the Asian Games as its theme, with the narrative approached from four scales: "intercontinental, national, societal, and personal." Asia On-Site is the home ground for Asia to showcase its culture, the home ground for Taiwan to display its confidence, and the home ground for everyone to build a future together.
Unit 1: The Arena of Competition - Asia in the World of Sports
In the Asian Games, what does "Asia" mean? Is it defined by geographical location, political entity, or cultural boundaries? By exploring the past and present of the Asian Games, we can see that the Asian Games are not only about sports but also a process of clarifying what "Asia" is.
Unit 2: Ready for Action - "Our" Delegation
Participating in the Asian Games is not only a stage for athletes to strive for glory but also an attempt to position who "we" are in the international community. Who represents "us," and under what name "we" compete involves a history of international political maneuvering.
Unit 3: Taiwan's Treasures - The Birth of Sports Superstars
On the path to pursuing excellence, the effort required of athletes does not differ due to factors such as nationality or gender. After stripping away the identity of a national team athlete, the distinction between athletes off the field and you and me might not be as vast as imagined.
Unit 4: So Close, Yet So Far - The Distance Between Us and the Asian Games
The Asian Games are not just a sporting event but also a large-scale inscription of collective social memory. Each generation of Taiwanese people, through watching and supporting the events, creates memories unique to that generation, further recognizing and measuring their relationship with society, the nation, and even the international community.
Unit 5: Walking Side by Side - The Asian Games Moving Towards the Future
From the 1st Asian Games in New Delhi, India, to the 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya, Aichi, Japan, the 20 editions of the Asian Games have been a stage that accommodates victory and defeat, glory and regret. Sports are about winning and losing, but ultimately, they can transcend winning and losing.
