Taiwan Matters
A curated list of Taiwanese events across Europe — film screenings, exhibitions, concerts, performances, festivals and talks. Taiwan shows up in unexpected places across Europe, but event details are often spread across many different websites and community pages. Taiwan Matters brings selected events together in one place, sorted by date and filterable by country and event type, with direct links to official organizers for details and registration. This page is updated when new events come my way. If you’re organizing or promoting a Taiwan-related event in Europe, feel free to send it to me via Facebook or Instagram using the links below.
