A heat wave is hitting the Taichung Art Museum .ᐟ.ᐟ Witness global heat culture all at once.

Horizon Ablaze is an international exhibition launching this summer at TcAM, co-curated by a transnational team from Taiwan, the Philippines, and Panama. Curators Takamori Nobuo, Tessa Maria Guazon, Juan Canela, and Jennifer Choy bring together artists from five continents to explore diverse responses to “heat.”

For those living in Taiwan—where tropical and subtropical climates meet—heat is never abstract. From sticky air and blazing sun to restless, mosquito-filled nights, it is a deeply familiar, bodily experience.

Can this shared sensation become a language for exchanging memories across the world?

Spanning Taiwan’s hottest season, the exhibition also marks TcAM’s very first summer. Let’s welcome it together.
