策展人：那高．卜沌 Curator: Nakaw Putun 「Pulima藝術節」是臺灣最重要的原住民當代藝術節，體現原住民的文化精神與當代藝術新風貌。2018年以「Micawor 翻動」為命題，以視覺藝術、表演藝術、電影、論壇、講座、工作坊等方式呈現，並跨國連結原住民藝術社群，攜手翻動原住民文化藝術的沃土，期許為未來原住民社會創造盎然生機。 The Pulima Art Festival is the most prestigious indigenous contemporary art festival in Taiwan, and has embodied the indigenous cultural spirit and progress of contemporary art. The festival in 2018 adopts “Micawor” as the theme and aims to turn over fertile soil of the indigenous culture and arts through visual arts, performing arts, films, seminars, talks and workshops to connect international indigenous art communities and create brimming vitality for the future indigenous society. 數萬年前，原住民族的祖先早已生活在臺灣這片土地，歷經數次大洪水時代，在大海翻動的浪潮下突破困境，發展出多元豐富的文化。但在近四百年，原住民經歷不同政權的移轉，傳統領域被剝奪、文化和語言逐漸消失，原住民被迫在自己的土地上流浪。直到1980年代原住民族運動興起，族人開始重新面對及重視祖先生活的方式。在這歷史的演變中，「藝術」的反思性、創造性、整體性、驅動性見證著原住民社會的發展，也激發人們以創新的方式觀察、思考和行動。 Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the indigenous people’s ancestors had already inhabited the island of Taiwan. After several eras of the great floods, they developed rich and diverse cultures despite much hardship symbolized by the towering sea waves. However, starting from nearly four hundred years ago, the indigenous peoples underwent changes of the colonial governments, deprivation of traditional territories, disappearance of cultures and languages, and were forced into exile on their native land. It was only until 1980s that Taiwan witnessed the rise of the Indigenous Movement. The indigenous people began embracing and valuing their ancestral ways of life. Throughout the course of history, the reflexivity, creativity, integrity and motivation in “art” have been part of the developing indigenous society, encouraging people to observe, think and act in an innovative way. 「Micawor翻動」從充滿精神力的神話年代開始談起，試圖重新翻閱歷史的長河，瞭解原住民藝術如何承接歷史，直到突破歷史侷限而取得獨立的場域，在時間和空間的翻動中，為未來的發展留下一絲線索。「Micawor翻動」試圖揭示著時代的局變下，一股持續翻動的正向力量：社會的改革是為人類發展開闢新的途徑，而藝術在此刻洞察纖毫，探索著人類存在的意義，並為世界描繪全新的願景。 “Micawor” starts with the highly spiritual era of the mythology, revisiting the source of the long indigenous history to understand how indigenous arts have inherited and passed down the legacy while transcending historical limitations to gain an independent site for future development through the evolving time and space. “Micawor” refers to the sustained positive force that is turning everything over within the context of the dramatic changes of the times. Reforms in society are opening up new paths for the development of the human race, and art is gaining detailed insight into the meaning of human existence while helping to cultivate a new vision for the world. 「翻動MICAWOR─2018 PULIMA藝術節」延伸出多項系列活動，並以原住民族跨國合作與連結為今年的重要目標。其中包含呈現今年21位獲選「Pulima藝術獎」作品展覽，並邀請第20屆「國家文藝獎」得主撒古流 (Sakuliu)、前二屆首獎得主林介文(Labay Eyong)，以及紐西蘭毛利族藝術家莉莎．瑞哈娜(Lisa Reihana)共同展出。同時今年特別規劃節中節，邀請墨爾本領先的國際原住民當代藝術節慶「YIRRAMBOI明日藝術節」。而國內的表演團隊布拉瑞揚舞團和TAI身體劇場也分別與紐西蘭毛利族編舞家摩斯．帕德森(Moss Patteron)和澳洲第一民族編舞家卡莉．雪柏德(Carly Sheppard)合作演出。此外，藝術節期間也規劃舉辦「表演創作徵件競賽展演」，藉以拔擢優秀的表演創作人才。 MICAWOR—2018 PULIMA Art Festival encompasses various events, and a major goal this year is international indigenous collaboration and connection. The events include an art exhibition of the twenty-one Pulima Art Award winners. The exhibition also features artworks by Sakuliu the winner of the 20th National Awards of Art and, by Labay Eyong, the two-time First Prize winner of the Pulima Art Award, and those by New Zealand Maori artist Lisa Reihana. This year, the festival also presents “a festival within the festival” and showcases Yirramboi First Nations Arts Festival, the premier international indigenous contemporary art festival in Melbourne, to demonstrate the subjective spirit and art scene of First Nations. Taiwanese performing arts groups, Bulareyaung Dance Company and TAI Body Theatre, respectively collaborate with New Zealand Maori choreographer Moss Patteron and First Nation performing artist Carly Sheppard. Meanwhile, the Pulima Art Festival this year also organizes “Performing Arts Competition” to encourage and discover excellent talents of emerging artists. 「2018 Pulima藝術節」以「Micawor翻動」為命題，試圖翻動原住民文化藝術的沃土，讓連結原住民族美好未來的各種新芽竄出，我們身處翻動的過程，期待在不久的將來遇見遍地繁花。 With “Micawor” as its theme, the 2018 Pulima Art Festival will surely stir the fertile soil of the indigenous culture and arts, creating fresh sprouts for a wonderful future of the indigenous community. Being part of this stirring process, we look forward to seeing the abundant fruits in the near future.
