Why SUP Taiwan is different
SUP Taiwan is distinct within the wider SUP system because it operates across multiple layers at once.
It is a residency site, a public and educational programme platform, an experimental LAB, and a developing local network through SUA (Something Useful Association).
Rather than functioning as one programme, SUP Taiwan brings these layers together to support long-term cultural exchange, local collaboration, and ongoing development.
