本展覽源自於2019 年由策展人與藝術家共同發起的跨國研究計畫「以海洋為中本展覽源自於2019 年由策展人與藝術家共同發起的跨國研究計畫「以海洋為中心的社會參與式藝術：批判思考與重新想像黑潮地帶間的文化交流」，透過研究、藝術展演與社會參與式創作，喚起觀眾對島嶼社群連結、黑潮文化圈與多物種關係的反思，並轉化為對海洋與島嶼環境的關懷行動。展覽分為三個子題：「多物種對話」、「以海洋為中心的亞洲社會參與式藝術實踐」，以及「流動作為方法：跨文化海洋敘事」，其中亦呈現自2019 年起進行的參與式公眾藝術計畫，將跨文化島嶼社群共同創作的故事與圖像融入展覽，邀請觀眾想像人與非人類物種之間的共生、遷移與海洋環境倫理，重新思考關於黑潮文化、風、洋流等多物種所傳遞的訊息。

當我們以海洋作為思考中心，便感知到海洋無國界，個體並非遺世而獨立，而是與其他社群、物質與物種親密相連。在都會化與工業化所帶來的環境危機下，嘗試把這些議題置入亞洲、黑潮社群共感的脈絡裡，想像我們共乘在一艘漂流中的帆船，未來將航向何方？本展覽透過展演與社群藝術共創，分享關於海洋的故事，邀請觀眾進入跳島般的漂流旅程，參與以「流動」為方法的藝術行動。歡迎一同加入這場持續的對話！

This exhibition originates from a cross-national research project initiated in 2019:This exhibition originates from a cross-national research project initiated in 2019: “Sea-centric Forms of Socially Engaged Art: Critical Re-Imagination of InterculturalFlow in the Kuroshio Current.”Through research, curation, and socially engagedcreative practice, the project seeks to evoke reflection on the interconnectedness ofisland communities, the Kuroshio cultural sphere, and multispecies relationships—ultimately transforming these insights into a call for environmental stewardship of ouroceans and islands.

The exhibition is structured into three thematic sections: “Multispecies Dialogues,”“Sea-Centric Socially Engaged Art Practices in Asia,” and “Flow as Method:Transcultural Sea Narratives.” It also presents participatory public art projectsdeveloped since 2019, integrating stories and imagery co-created by transculturalisland communities. We invite audiences to envision new frameworks forcoexistence, migration, and marine environmental ethics between humans and nonhumanspecies, while re-examining the messages carried by the Kuroshio current, thewinds, and the sea.

When we adopt the sea as our center of inquiry, we perceive its borderless nature—arealization that individuals are never truly isolated, but intimately connected to othercommunities and species. Amidst the environmental crises wrought by urbanizationand industrialization, this exhibition situates these urgent issues within the sharedcontext of Asian and Kuroshio communities. We invite you to imagine us all asfellow passengers on a drifting vessel—where shall we sail next?

Through exhibition and community collaboration, we share stories of the sea andinvite you to embark on an “island-hopping” journey. We hope you will join us in thisongoing dialogue, participating in an artistic movement that adopts “flow” as itsmethodology.
