The world’s most influential electronic music band, Kraftwerk, is set to perform a No Nuke series concert on April 30 at the NTU Sports Center. Since 1970, what has been coming out of their secret studio somewhere in Germany, has shaped modern music of all genres and Kraftwerk are widely known as The Beatles of electronic music. The notoriously elusive group makes very few appearances, but has selected Taipei with the promise of spreading a message. Kraftwerk have been telling people of the dangers of nuclear energy since their 1975 song Radioactivity, and in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear accident, they have taken their message live. In a rare production, Kraftwerk will perform their hits in a special concert that aims to bring awareness to Taiwan’s current nuclear power plant issue. Fans in Taipei will also have the privilege of seeing Kraftwerk’s unique interpretation of the crisis in 3D.

March 18 to March 24 Yasushi Noro knew that it was not the right time to scale Hehuan Mountain (合歡). It was March 1913 and the weather was still bitingly cold at high altitudes. But he knew he couldn’t afford to wait, either. Launched in 1910, the Japanese colonial government’s “five year plan to govern the savages” was going well. After numerous bloody battles, they had subdued almost all of the indigenous peoples in northeastern Taiwan, save for the Truku who held strong to their territory around the Liwu River (立霧溪) and Mugua River (木瓜溪) basins in today’s Hualien County (花蓮).

Pei-Ru Ko (柯沛如) says her Taipei upbringing was a little different from her peers. “We lived near the National Palace Museum [north of Taipei] and our neighbors had rice paddies. They were growing food right next to us. There was a mountain and a river so people would say, ‘you live in the mountains,’ and my friends wouldn’t want to come and visit.” While her school friends remained a bus ride away, Ko’s semi-rural upbringing schooled her in other things, including where food comes from. “Most people living in Taipei wouldn’t have a neighbor that was growing food,” she says. “So
