What is the The Art of 「跨」Kua?

活動內容:
到底「跨」什麼——
The Art of「跨」為這次活動主軸。活動將邀請新生代致力於文化與藝術的相關團體及工作者共同進行一場談論「台灣文化實驗」與「文化國際性」兩個主題的沙龍論壇。兩個主題分別邀請對於主題有長期接觸或是為其致力發展之目標的講者,期待透過講者之間的談話與腦力激盪,為文化議題這個錯綜復雜的藍圖勾勒出更清晰的面貌。

Content:
As for the art of ‘kuà’, the theme of this event, we look forward to delving deep into the intricacies of the cultural issues that exist in Taiwan, inspiring new ideas and opening up new discussions. To this effect, we’ve invited a number of new-generation thinkers and creatives in the arts and cultural spheres to gather for a salon-style forum on the topics of “cultural experimentation in Taiwan” and “the international nature of culture”. Each speaker in the forum has been engaged in work to further develop ideas related to these topics or comes from a strong background in related fields.

What is the purpose?

活動目的:
關於「跨」這件事——
紅坊國際村在「跨文化」這個主題中耕耘許久,如今已邁入第九年。這幾年間主要在幾個「跨的4面向」持續嘗試和創新,包含「跨世代」:老一輩與年輕人間的連結、「跨領域」:藝術文化工作者與其他領域的結合、「跨國際」:東方與西方的合作與交流、「跨越第四道牆」:打破表演者與觀眾之間的隔閡。我們認為「跨」這個概念,也在近幾年的「文化創意」、「文化實驗」、「社會創新」等文化走向、目標中扮演著串連的角色。
我們與許多相似團體,在文化的領域裡也許不為學術之研究者,但總是捲起袖子試著以實質的力量做出一些改變,在我們第九年生日許下這個心願,希望集結以往或未來期冀合作的文化相關團體一起在這個經濟艱困的時代中找出台灣的文化多樣性與包容性。

Purpose:
About the “KUÀ” event ——
In terms of cultural activity, the notion of ‘kuà’ — to span, extend beyond, overcome, or surpass — is nothing new for the Red Room International Village, where such cultural terrain has been tilled for nine years now. When it comes to experimentation and innovation, the concept of kuà has proved pertinent, be that in the bridging of generation gaps, or collaborations between artists and cultural workers of different fields, or the spanning of ‘East’ and ‘West’ in international exchanges — not to mention the performances in which the fourth wall is hardly in place before it falls. We’ve also seen the idea of ‘kuà’ come to the fore in the various ‘labs’ of cultural creation and experimentation, social innovation, and so forth, where it plays an increasingly prominent role.

Although the Red Room and other similar groups might not be on the same page as researchers in the field of cultural studies, we’ve nevertheless maintained a hands-on approach to culture, and we’ve taken some strong positions, making a difference over the years. Now approaching our 9th anniversary, we wish to re-confirm this commitment: to provide a space where people can gather, have the chance to collaborate, and together create more breathing room in this period of economic constraint, for more inclusivity and for more diversity in Taiwan’s cultural landscape.

講者介紹 Mr.Seven~| ( )藝文沙龍

有一群人,
在這個叫做( )的空間被承載著,
每個人發揮著自己所能,也承接這空間中每個別人所釋放的。
大家來到這裡的時間點都不盡相同,
陸陸續續有人上車,
然後就留下了,
帶著截然不同的背景和性格,成為了這裡的一個部分,或一些養分。
( )的意思,不是包容,而是不去限制所有的可能性,
關於括號的內容物,就像驚喜包一樣連我們自己都無法想像,
哪個才華洋溢的誰又將帶給我們什麼樣的 思想/視覺/生命可能性 轟炸。

Speaker Jay Lin 杰德影音 Portico Media

Over the past few decades, I have enjoyed crossing-borders, crossing-disciplines and crossing-roles in my life and in my work. As a media professionals, I have worked to bring content from multinational conglomerates such as NBCU, Viacom & A&E to Taiwan, and at the same time developed home-grown media platforms such as #GagaOOlala , Asia’s 1st and the world largest (in terms of titles) LGBT Movies Online Service to other parts of the world. On the personal front, I have gone from a gay bachelor to becoming a proud father of twin boys. “#Kua” is the new norm and we all have the ability and capability to expand and blossom into our own unique ways.

樂團介紹 |世界是一則隱喻

「這幾年的人生告訴我,我們是可以、也必須擁抱無常的人。它幾乎與生活劃上等號。從前不明白,而在漸漸接受之後,那些令人掙扎的部分並沒有消失,一如既往地持續著。」

不過,我願意接受,與之共存:

「世界是一則隱喻。」
