Workshop Introduction

Guided by artist Hyemin SON, participants will visit Magang to explore local maritime culture and coastal livelihoods through the history of the agar-agar industry and seaweed harvesting. Through interviews and a shared meal with local residents, participants will listen to their stories of living alongside the sea. They will also take part in hands-on activities, including agar-agar jelly making, a paper-folding workshop, and a female diver experience, gaining a deeper understanding of Magang's bond with the sea through local shellfish harvesting practices, traditional foodways, and the coastal environment.

※This project is a collaboration with Lin Kuei-Miao (cultural worker), Wu Han-En (Dawn Culture Studio), and Magang sea women divers. Paper folding workshop created by Gyunghye Yoo, Busan based curator.

●About the Artist
Hyemin Son
Hyemin Son is a visual artist based in Busan, Korea and a member of Rice Brewing Sisters Club, which she co-founded in 2018. Her practice focuses on the collectivity inherent in the process of fermentation, approaching it as a practical engagement with organic materials and drawing inspiration from the ecological economic community formed by such as Haenyeo.

●About the Local Presenter & Interactor
Lin Kuei-Miao
Cultural Worker. Through her involvement in assisting Magang’s petition to preserve its traditional stone house settlement, Lin realized that stones serve both as habitats for marine life and as the building blocks of human homes. Captivated by Magang’s distinct natural and cultural character, she continues to foster a sense of "island identity" through field research, writing, and curatorial projects.

Wu Han-En
Deeply passionate about the mountains and sea of Gongliao, Wu actively engages with local culture and marine environmental issues. Through guided tours, experience design, and community connections, she introduces audiences to the stories of this land while inviting collective reflection on our relationship with place.

Chen Wang-Sei
Affectionately known as " Wang-Sei A-Ma," Chen is currently the most senior coastal gather in Magang. She began learning coastal gathering from her mother as a child, accumulating over sixty years of experience. Though no longer diving as she ages, she still diligently forages sea snails and scrapes wild nori along the shore. She also warmly shares her vintage foraging tools and leads visitors to the coast to demonstrate traditional oyster shucking.

Notes
1.Capacity for this workshop is limited, and advance online registration is required. A "Check-in Notice" email with event details will be sent 2 days prior to the workshop. Please check your inbox accordingly.
2.This event includes outdoor itineraries. Please wear casual clothing and comfortable walking shoes, and bring your own rain gear, drinking water, and reusable utensils. Water refills are available at the Magang Community Activity Center; raincoats are preferred over umbrellas for ease of movement.
3.Please take precautions against sun exposure and stay hydrated. Sun-protective clothing and hats are recommended over sunscreen to minimize impact on marine life.
4.Straw Sandals Experience: For hygiene reasons, please bring an extra pair of socks to wear with the straw sandals, as well as a small towel to wipe off after coming ashore. The straw sandals fit sizes 22–28 cm; participants whose foot sizes do not fit this range should bring their own anti-slip shoes.
5.During guided tours and outdoor activities, please follow the tour guide's instructions at all times and stay with the group.
6.The workshop will be canceled if work and school suspensions are announced in either Taipei City or New Taipei City, or if the Central Weather Administration issues a Heavy Rain Special Advisory (or higher) for Gongliao District, making it unsafe to proceed. Under other weather conditions, the event will proceed as scheduled; however, if the Haenyeo (female divers) determine the sea condition is unsuitable, that specific segment will be converted into an indoor talk.
7.MoCA Taipei reserves the right to modify all event details. Should the event be postponed, canceled, or changed to an alternative format due to unforeseen circumstances, announcements will be posted on our official website and Facebook page.
