More About Residency Makotaay Eco Art Village
Makotaay is one of Hualien County’s oldest Pangcah communities. The Makotaay Eco Art Village is in the coastal area of Shitiping. The local topography has been sculpted by marine erosion and has a diverse intertidal-zone ecology with which our people coexist and upon which we rely. It’s been over 30 years since the movement to get our land back from the government started. Having gotten it back in 2020, the people of Makotaay are promoting sustainable living in a number of aspects, which is part of the value of the Eco Art Village.
The Makotaay Eco Art Village began holding the Makotaay Artists’ Workshop in 2020, for which artists from different cultures and fields come together as resident artists to learn, take part in exchange, and create art. 40 artists are invited to participate this event that connects with four local Indigenous communities. This year, the theme is “Ocean Year,” so artists are invited to come and feel the pulse of the ocean and experience how locals interact with the sea in our daily lives. In addition, the artists will jointly think and talk about how to care for our oceans.
