Working Holiday Maker photo exhibition “Land Down Under”

 

We are pleased to announce the Working Holiday Maker photo exhibition “Land Down Under” now is touring. The first stop is at National Central Library from now to Sunday, 25 September. These photos were collected from our office’s Working Holiday Maker Photo Competition held in the winter of 2015. Later on, the exhibition will tour to central and southern Taiwan through to Autumn 2017. 

There are nearly 30,000 Taiwanese young people in Australia on working holiday visas, a number second only to the UK.  They participate in the ‘gap year’ tradition, make an important contribution to Australia’s community and economy, and adapt quickly to very different language, cultural and work environments.  Through the lens of these talented photographers, we can sense the courage and enthusiasm of young Taiwanese in Australia.  We can sense their connection with Australian nature and wildlife and their awe at the vast landscapes of our ancient, expansive country.  We can also sense their bravery in exploring new sides of themselves, forging and cherishing new friendships, and pondering their future directions. 

 

Date: 9:00-21:00 Tue-Sat, 9:00-17:00 Sundays, 27 May – 25 September 2016 (closed Mondays).

Location: Outside of Audio-Visual Briefing Room, B1 National Central Library, No. 20, Zhongshan S Rd, Taipei (MRT: Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall Station)
