About the Program
Bestemming: Canada (Destination: Canada) is a project commissioned by the Dutch Consul of Toronto. A team of Dutch artists drew the biographies of ten Dutch migrants to Canada. Each story is unique and moving in their own way. Why did they come to Canada? What were they expecting to find, and what did they actually end up finding?
From the Curating Team
Canada's multiculturalism is shaped by its diverse immigrant population, reflecting centuries of worldwide exchanges. TAIWANfest explores the historical impacts of the Era of Exploration, emphasizing cultural exchange and integration. In light of changing global dynamics, Canada can develop a more inclusive "Chinese-Canadian" worldview through the study of Taiwan's history under Dutch colonization.

TAIWANfest Toronto is grateful to be held on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples, that is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We acknowledge our privilege to be gathered here, and commit to work with and be respectful to the Indigenous peoples of this land while we engage in meaningful conversations of culture and reconciliation.
