‣ Maria Proshkowska 《Motanka》

Rethinking an important element of Ukrainian tradition — the Motanka doll — the artist creates an object made of textiles and grain which traditionally symbolizes prosperity and is a strong sacred object for Ukrainians. By hypertrophying the size of the doll, the artist draws attention to how desperately the modern world needs hope in the face of uncertainty and crisis. The layering of traditional Ukrainian fabric and Taiwanese fabric is an attempt to dive into the study of both cultures and look boldly into the most tragic chapters of their histories.

By dressing the doll, layer by layer, the artist seems to be rewinding the wound, trying to reduce the unspoken pain of destruction and war — the doll's body is filled with Ukrainian wheat grain that was burnt as a result of a direct hit by a russian missile. The doll's silent face with no eyes does not answer the complex questions we are posed in front of uncertainty. It stands as a testament to resilience, impervious to manipulation and propaganda. Within itself, the doll conceals the memory of generations grappling with destruction, colonization, and the relentless suppression of the quest for freedom.

Will we be able to keep this memory and transform its most painful moments into the strength to move forward? Are we brave enough to withstand whatever we may later learn from its deepest corners?

‣ Olha Kuzyura 《Under a single skin》

The project's idea revolves around reconnecting with the body as a vessel of our experiences. By acknowledging memories and reality in terms of how they resonate on a physical level and finding them a new embodiment in the appropriate material, we undergo changes in our memory and self-perception.

Paper has always been a carrier of memory and values. We trust it and the information it bears. Paper, literally a document on which we record the most important events like birth and death, is paradoxically physically impermanent.

But this fragility has taught us to love and care even more for everyone and everything around us. Among the surfaces from which imprints are taken are details of buildings that were already restored during the war. In times of such extensive destruction, restorers recreate material heritage for us, preserving so essential symbols to the future.
This art work becomes a painful commentary on the reality we face in Ukraine, but also a testament to the formation of a new way of collective memory. Being able to name one's experience allows society to realize itself as under a single skin.

‣ Ciwas Tahos 《Pswagi Temahahoi》

Pswagi Temahahoi is part of the ongoing body of work Finding Pathways to Temahahoi. Exploring the further possibility of the space of Temahahoi by combining documentary video work alongside visual and sound performance to weave together a hybrid video installation piece.

Temahahoi tells of a place where only women and gender non-conforming people live. The community can communicate with bees and become impregnated by wind. The work depicts Ciwas's journey into Atayal land, attempting to trace and record the path of the bees in the gap of light between the mountains' shadows alongside the creation of their ceramic ocarina, to find the forgotten memory of Temahahoi.

This instrument allows the q***r indigenous community to connect through shared intimate moments of sound creation and the sharing of air to belong beyond the physical and find that q***r landscape of Temahahoi.

‣ Chen Fei-Hao 《Love Su***de at Snow Melting Train》

Love Su***de at Snow Melting Train is inspired by an incident that happened during the early days of the Japanese Colonial Rule. Japanese pr******te Naruto and lover Umehara Suetaro eloped, hanged themselves in Dadaocheng, and were buried together in a Hiyokuzuka (“lover’s grave”) in the then San Ban Qiao Graveyard (currently Park No. 14 and 15).

The Hiyokuzuka is a unique Japanese custom which involves the burial of lovers who could not be together during their lifetime, granting their unfulfilled wishes after death. The Hiyokuzuka in San Ban Qiao is a unique case of cultural transfer of immigrants who traveled to Taiwan with the Japanese government, mixing foreign and local culture, at the same time reflecting the special historical scenario and social structure of Taiwan.

Love Su***de at Snow Melting Car takes a section of traditional Japanese song “The Love Su***des at Sonezaki: Journey Scene” and retells the love story that happened in Taiwan, ultimately comparing San Ban Qiao with its postwar transformation into Chinese community Vil. Kang Le to show the diversity and richness of Taiwan culture.

⤷Introduction of “Walls Adrift” by Weiting Zhang
—
Yurts are symbolic of nomadic living in Central Asia. These soft and flexible structures, light enough to be transported on horseback, provide much-needed refuge against unrelenting elements in the mountains. Within the vast open steppes, yurts delimit the boundary between the private realm and everything else—rain, wind, animals, and the public gaze. In this exhibition, the wall of the yurt is deconstructed into curved panels, and its felt covering is transformed into suspended handmade paper. Inspired by how a yurt holds its own universe within the greater landscape, the panels demarcate zones of intimacy for showcasing the artists’ personal interpretations of land while simultaneously layer the artworks into one coherent exhibition space.

Six artists in this exhibition "Packs of Land", curated by Lu Wei , at TAIWAN ANNUAL, participated together in the 2023 edition of the Nomadic Art Project, a program hosted by artist Shaarbek Amankul.

⤷Introduction of “Nomadic me” by Vanessa Greene
—
“The daughter of a military father, my early years were nomadic as we moved from one military base to another – eight different moves within 12 years – several of those years stationed in the Panama Canal Zone. At two separate times, my Special Forces Green Beret dad was stationed in Vietnam while we, his family, wondered everyday if he were going to make it home alive. He did.” “When I was invited by the Miami-based Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator to participate in a two-week residency – a “Nomadic Art Camp” in Kyrgyzstan, my first instinct was to say, “No, Thank You.” I thank the heavens I said, “Yes.” For, I would have missed the most thrilling, one of the most transformative experiences of my life.”

⤷Introduction of “Nomads dwelling” by Janarbek Amankulov
—
Today the artist is concerned with ecological issues, economic and social changes in society, and people's perception of it. According to the world outlook of Nomadic people, life is the eternal way. Nomads carry its door on its back and set up and build a dome in that place where it decides to create a world. This felted house, its details symbolizing the parts of being, is a personal Universe of each nomad, and the world around it is a boundless “Steppe” and blue “Sky”, its constant concomitants.
