This year, the
Nanhui Art Project is centered around Sicevudan, which means “converging with
the universal source.” The Project will feature 14 groups of artists from
Taiwan, Indonesia, South Africa and the US. The artists have utilized Taitung’s
various natural resources while bringing together people from different
backgrounds. Through this, they’ve created 14 art instillations that reflect
their thoughts and feelings towards Taitung’s South Link.

Sicevudan is a
Paiwan word that means “source” and “convergence.” In this case, it symbolizes
art’s power to overcome ethnic and regional differences. The Project has
produced different types of art instillations that complement Taitung’s
stunning scenery. These 14 works have been placed at various locations along
the South-Link Highway.

The Nanhui Art
Project has also teamed up with indigenous villages, such as Lalaulan, Jinlun, Pacavalj
and Tjuluqalju to host different activities. Local artists will share their
creative experiences, host traditional handicrafts workshops, prepare indigenous
meals, have singing performances and organize village tours. The Project is
about more than just looking at some artwork. It’s an opportunity to get to
know what makes the indigenous tribes of the South Link special.
