How to Act to Survive When the Wave of Forced Evictions Is Coming?

The project A Wave Is Coming: Cross-Border Discussion and Action of Magang Village derives from the social incident of the forced eviction of Magang Village. The “wave” is a metaphor of the duality of “crisis” and “chance” in forced eviction; when individuals are unable to fight against the external force (“wave”), they must act to survive. In the case of Magang’s encounter with the wave, “cultural heritage” acted as a lever that explored the bargaining chip of the cultural foundation and environmental characteristics of the place to renegotiate with developmentalism.
