[Exhibit] Seeing Beyond the Island: A Lens into the 228 Sites

Tateuchi East Asia Library The 228 Incident is often reduced to a single confrontation over illicit cigarette sales on the night of February 27, 1947, but the violence was rooted in long-standing political and social injustices that had already surfaced in earlier incidents under postwar administration. On February 28, soldiers opened fire on civilians, rapidly turning local unrest into island-wide resistance, followed by widespread arrests, executions, and military operations carried out under the name of “pacification.” Reinforcements arriving on March 8 intensified indiscriminate killings and ushered in a prolonged climate of terror. The violence left behind not only countless victims, but also a dispersed landscape of ordinary streets, buildings, and public spaces across Taiwan—sites that, whether preserved, transformed, or erased, continue to bear the traces of persecution and memory. Building on this landscape of lived and remembered sites, Seeing Beyond the Island: A Lens into the 228 Sites brings together historical locations… Event interval: Ongoing event. Campus location: Gowen Hall (GWN). Campus room: Tateuchi East Asia Library. Accessibility Contact: Taiwan Studies (taiwanst@uw.edu). Event Types: Exhibits.

We’ll kick off with a brief panel discussion from members of the UW community who have written op-eds, then we’ll discuss how you can do the same -- from identifying a timely hook, crafting a persuasive short piece, and navigating the submissions process. Come prepared to hear from colleagues, use resources, and participate in interactive exercises. The ambitious may leave with a draft op-ed and a concrete plan for submitting it. Everyone will gain a clearer understanding about how to write for new audiences. RE… Event interval: Single day event. Campus room: 115 ABC. Accessibility Contact: mmjones@uw.edu.
