Hence, the Commission is considered an important cornerstone to laying the foundations of the “Taiwan Experience” in the 20th century. That said, very few are aware that this U.S. aid organization specializing in agricultural economics was also closely associated with the American propaganda mechanism during the Cold War, and had in its possession countless photos, slides and movies, and produced various images, charts, pamphlets and posters. All these contributed to the formation of the post-war “Taiwan (Visual) Experience”, deeply influencing the development of our visual culture. ⁡ ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ ⁡ #攝影之聲 #voicesofphotography #美援 #農復會 #豐年社 #豐年 #冷戰 #台灣 #美國 #美新處 #攝影 #航攝 #楊基炘 #檔案 #底片 #VOP #USAID #JCRR #USIS #JointCommissionOnRuralReconstruction #ColdWar #Taiwan #photography
