More About Residency Makotaay Eco Art Village
The Makotaay Eco Art Village (MEAV) 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.

"Ocean Community"
The ocean is a lifestyle, a lesson that you are always learning from. You learn humility from it, how to recognise its moods and power, how to read the messages fish transmit, and the tempo of the waves. This is the pace at which you enter the world of the sea and the natural law of the ocean community. — Iyo Kacaw

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. 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.
