Takiunun (Kidney): An Artist’s Tribute to His Father Taken by Alcoholism (ft. Biung Ismahasan) | #InTaiwanWeSpeak

Several years ago, Biung Ismahasan donated his kidney to save his father from the grip of alcoholism, extending his life by several years. After his father’s passing, Biung honoured him in the way he knew best—by gathering their community at his father’s tomb and staging a powerful art performance titled “Takiunun” (‘kidney’ in the Bunun language). In this deeply personal episode, we talk with Biung about his late father, the impact of alcoholism on their lives, and the power of art in preserving memories and healing grief.
