After a series of IOTA21 conference, I had a totally different view of wisdom that’s hidden inside the pattern and weaving in our everyday cloth. As I myself was never good at knitting, weaving and sewing, I really like to learn and embed the skill to our young kids in the community.

It’s been couple months gone already since I attend Indian Ocean Craft Triennial (IOTA21) conference on 17-19 Sep 2021 in Perth. Thanks Australian Government’s Regional Arts Fund, which support artists in regional and remote Australia with the travelling costs and ticket price and make it possible for artist like me to attend such amazing events, which including not just only the conference, but a vibrant opening night full of art and music, art exhibitions, and fashion show etc.
離我去伯斯參加印度洋手工藝三年展(IOTA21)議會已經過了兩個月了。感謝澳洲政府的偏區藝文基金，提供旅遊補助及議會入場經費給住在澳洲偏區地區的藝術工作者們，能參與如此特別的活動，包含了學術議會、充滿音樂及藝文活動的開幕之夜、藝術展覽，及服裝秀等等。

參加歌曲寫作工作坊也好幾輪了，這首曲子創作的由來是因為第一次聽到主辦人Daron分享了自己的妹妹因為憂鬱症而自殺的事件，身後還留下了兩歲的孩子。自己身為一個母親，也罹患過憂鬱症，心裡非常清楚那是一個什麼樣的感覺，於是寫了這首歌，希望能鼓勵曾經走到絕望深處的靈魂們，能振作起來，相信自己，沒有什麼事情是不能過的。
 

Veronica Vitale, an Italian born singer-songwriter in USA, had wrote a song “Hymn To Humanity” during COVID-19, and invited artists all around the world to do a world choir version.

西澳Geraldton小鎮因應COVID-19疫情而取消了所有戶外活動，當所有人都被限制在家時，活動組織Funtavia發起了HeArt Drive(way)的藝術活動，鼓勵大眾在家自由發揮藝術創作，並於六月開始為期一個月，將創作品置放在自家門前，供其他人依據展覽地圖到處開車遊覽。

Stories from the Future Workshop 未來的故事工作坊
First of all, I want to say a big thank you for this opportunity to attend the Stories from the Future workshop. I’m truly blessed to get the grant from the Australian Government’s Regional Arts Fund, which support artists in regional and remote Australia with all the travelling costs and make it possible for us to attend such a meaningful project like this. And what a privilege for me when I realize I might be the only one in my mother country Taiwan, and in my town Geraldton to get the experience of this workshop so far.
