Currently on display at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum’s (TFAM), Time Games: Contemporary Appropriations of the Past brings together 150 works, dating back to the early 1990s, by 23 contemporary Taiwanese artists working in mixed media, painting and installation art. Among the artists participating in the exhibition is calligraphy artist Tong Yang-tze, who has invited two artists that work in different areas — singer-songwriter Cheer Chen and architect Eric Yao — to collaborate with her on her creative project titled “A Movement without Sound.” Each individual uses their own musicality in selecting 24 works or less from Yang’s 100-piece calligraphic series, recombining them and putting them on display in succession at the exhibition.
Chen’s part of the exhibit, which is already on display, takes the theme “lightness, soul,” and uses 14 of Tong’s works to express women’s unique soulfulness and sensitivity as well as the temporal and spatial fluidity of music. Eric Yao’s part of the exhibit will begin on May 8, working under the theme “a contradictory pursuit within music,” to represent Tong’s work. Time Games: Contemporary Appropriations of the Past will be on display until June 10.

An outbreak aboard a cruise ship of a rare rodent-borne illness called hantavirus has left three passengers dead and sickened others, but global health officials say the risk to the general public remains low because the germ does not easily spread between people. “This is not the next COVID, but it is a serious infectious disease,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness at the World Health Organization (WHO). “Most people will never be exposed to this.” The virus usually spreads when people inhale contaminated residue of rodent droppings. Hantaviruses have been around for centuries and are thought to

Have you ever wondered how people navigate the world when they can’t see a map? For individuals with visual impairments, conventional maps are nearly impossible to use. This is where tactile maps come in — essential tools that allow people to “see” the world through touch. A tactile map is specially designed with raised lines, textures, and symbols to represent geographical features such as roads, rivers, and buildings. Users explore it with their fingertips. However, these maps are not exclusively for people with visual disabilities. They serve as valuable multisensory learning tools that enhance spatial understanding for everyone, making
