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.
