About The Show
Taiwan legalized same-sex marriage on May 17, 2019, the first in Asia to do so. This exhibition shares Taiwan's experience through decades of conflicts, social movements, and optimism to
make this change possible. The title of the exhibition, “The Wedding Banquet,” refers to Ang Lee’s famous movie from 1993. Like the movie, this exhibition brings stories of Taiwan’s LGBTQ+ community, as well as its changing wedding culture, to international audiences. The exhibition opens on June 28, 2019, in unity with NYC’s Pride month and 50th anniversary of Stonewall, to celebrate not only Taiwan’s achievement, but also the LGBTQ+ community worldwide.
