Cultural Typhoon 2023’s main theme is ‘The new pre-war (and wartime) and feminism’. We now live in a world and society that is becoming “pre-war”. Everyday tasks and jobs don’t give anyone any insight into what’s happening in the world or where we’re heading. Ridiculous agitators create a social ‘atmosphere’ while those who remain serious are bogged down in their daily work. It even feels as if this whole society is heading for a terrible ‘game’.

If, and against the Pacific Centrism that claims “a typhoon always comes”, it is part of “the Back …
