Abstract

Transitional justice is a procedure for the government to redress past political and juristic mistakes; however, there are always issues beyond its reach. I’ve observed that when it comes to the more sensitive issues such as the violation of human rights, art is able to go further with subtle maneuvers through the dimensions of psychology, environment or gender. Based on my research I also find that, in Taiwan, art can better correspond to the formation of a civil society than direct political actions.
