The 2011 TaiwanFest Crossover is a different kind of cultural festival, in that it explores the way Taiwanese culture is changing, rather than just celebrating its traditions. The event examines how globalization and boundary-crossing have affected Taiwan's art and lifestyle, leading to a diverse, cultivated nation. This year's schedule and performers are still to be announced.
