Stranger Next Door Lecture Series (Grilling Borders Satellite Program)
Stranger Next Door Lecture Series in the summer of 2024 starts from reflections on Grilling Borders. TheCube invites 3 groups of researchers, writers, and artists from Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan to deliver 3 lectures from the perspectives of literature, visuals, history, society, and politics. A multi-dimensional discussion on ethnic and national borders will take place at TheCube on 3 consecutive Saturday from 29th June. The word "Stranger" in the original Greek text refers to "the people outside the fence, that is, the alien people." Stranger Next Door Lecture Series originated from some thoughts on Taiwan's southward policy.
2025 Praxis School | A Topology at the End of History Lecture Series
Since its establishment in 2016, TheCube Project Space’s The Praxis School has organized annual lecture series dedicated to creating platforms for in-depth discussions on art, culture, and social issues. Over recent years, the series has explored histories of technology and human-object relationships, culminating in the exhibition Madeleine Moment: The Technology of Memory and Sentiment in 2023. In 2025, amidst an era characterized by daily shocks and transformations, Praxis School shifts its focus towards historical inquiry. The first three lectures, organized in collaboration with theater critic Wu Sih-Fong, will feature a lecture series titled "A Topology at the End of History," delivered by scholar and art critic Kuo Liang-Ting.
