Purpose of the residency
She will research and create works centered on the theme of "Evacuation from Okinawa to Taiwan during World War II." She plans to view the written records left by evacuees and their hosts as "containers of people's and land's history and memory," and to produce artworks by reproducing texts and words from books, diaries, archival photographs, and inscriptions using techniques such as rubbings and tracings. By immersing herself in Taiwan's culture, history, and complex linguistic environment, she aims to experience how texts convey memories and emotions across time and explore their universal power and interpretation in contemporary society.
Plan during the residency
- Visit the National Archives of Taiwan to investigate The Survey of Evacuees from Okinawa Prefecture and examine primary sources related to the evacuees.
- Visit JuFang Museum to study the preservation and exhibition of the residences where evacuees from World War II lived.
- Conduct fieldwork at locations that retain traces of the Japanese colonial period. Focus on inscriptions and epitaphs to trace text-based remnants.
- Participate in classes by Professor Tsai Chih-Fen from the Department of Fine Arts at Taipei Normal University. Deepen exchange and discussions with artists and students through presentations.
- Visit galleries and art spaces in Taiwan to experience the current art scene.
