Xinpi is a traditional Hakka settlement. Whether fortunate or unfortunate, it did not keep pace with the rapid development of modern society and has therefore preserved many traces of earlier ways of life. The Hakka are also known for their reserved character, and their cultural distinctions from other ethnic groups are not always immediately visible. For non-Hakka communities, Hakka culture may seem somehow distinctive, yet difficult to describe in concrete terms.

The “Xinpi Hakka Village Artist Residency Program” seeks to draw upon artists’ perceptive observations and creative approaches to explore the distinctive qualities of Hakka culture. Through a wide range of artistic media, participating artists present the community’s cultural heritage, landscapes, customs, history, and religious beliefs, helping to bring the Hakka image within Taiwan’s diverse cultural mosaic into clearer focus.

First launched in 2023, the program is now entering its third edition. We look forward to seeing this year’s residency blossom and bear beautiful fruit.
Duration From October 1 to October 31, 2026. (The actual residency duration must not be less than 15 days.)
