When You Call My Name welcomes Dr Dai-Rong Wu and her students at Taipei National University of the Arts who will be making art for the Formosan who died in internment camps in Australia during World War II.
Dr Wu and students with our Taipei team leaders Masaki Baba and Masako Kinoshita and Associate Professor Dr Shi-Chi Mike Lan met in Taipei to discuss the project over the weekend.
Dr Dai-Rong Wu currently serves as the Chairperson of the Graduate Institute of Arts and Humanities Education, as well as an Associate Professor at the Taipei National University of the Arts. Her research concentrates on socially engaged art as pedagogy, and what/how knowledge is produced in the process of both art-making and artistic learning. As an artist-teacher, Wu launched the pedagogical art project When A Home Becomes A Museum at the Taipei Veterans’ Home, which has been in effect since 2014. Additionally, she is the principal investigator of Experience as Arts, an aesthetic education project, commissioned by the Ministry of Education in Taiwan.
Dr Shi-chi Mike is an associate professor at the Department of History of the National Chengchi University, Taiwan. Previously, he taught at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and held visiting positions at University of Tokyo, Rikkyo University, and University of Kyoto in Japan. His research interests include Modern East Asian History, the Second World War, historical memory, and history of migration. He also served as history consultant on projects related to the Second World War, including the award-winning documentary From Island to Island 由島至島 (Director Lau Kek Huat, Taiwan, 2024). He will invite and advise students from Taiwan to contribute to this project.
