The Kaohsiung Incident, also known as the Formosa Incident, took place on Dec. 10, 1979, when a demonstration organized by opposition politicians and Formosa Magazine to commemorate Human Rights Day turned violent. The Gwangju Uprising — also called the May 18 Democratic Uprising — against martial law took place in Gwangju, South Korea, in 1980.

The exhibition runs until Dec. 22 at an open space across from the National Audit Office on Taipei’s Hangzhou N Road.
