A journey of Taiwan's culture collisions. Taiwan has received waves of migrants since the beginning of its written history.Together,there people of distinctive cultural backgrounds witnessed the island's historical milestones:colonisation,martial law administration and democratisation.Centuries of culture collision and fusion have shaped Taiwan into a multifaceted country,but its historical complexity often leads to discussions on what constitutes the Taiwanese identity and which culture best represents Taiwan. Eatopia responds to the theme of the inaugural London Design Biennale,Utopia by Design, by presenting an imagines future through a culinary journey.Reflecting on the history of Taiwan,the dishes serve as a reminders that cultural collision and fusion have been and will continue to be powerful forces that people the country towards a united yet diverse utopia.
