《Paper Trails: Unfolding Indigenous Narratives》
《Paper Trails》從「紙」作為敘事媒介出發,回應原住民族藝術中歷史、身分與文化記憶的開展。
擷取紙張摺疊、切割與纖維質地,從主視覺、展場標準字至專書裝幀;並從台灣南投的紙編工藝中尋找合適織帶,透過弘運文創設計與裝訂廠的協調溝通,有效轉化為複合式書籤緞帶,讓紙張與原住民藝術的主題,不只是圖騰與影像,而成為可觸摸、被翻閱與標記閱讀的中介材料,在翻閱之間,延續展覽的敘事軌跡。
Paper Trails begins with paper as a medium for storytelling, reflecting the unfolding histories, identities, and cultural memories within Indigenous art.
Drawing from the folds, cuts, and fibrous textures of paper, the design language extends from the exhibition identity and title lettering to the catalogue itself. We also sourced a woven paper ribbon from Nantou, Taiwan, and through close collaboration with Hung Yun Cultural & Creative Design and our bookbinder, transformed it into a hybrid bookmark ribbon. In this way, paper and Indigenous art move beyond patterns and imagery to become a tactile medium—something to touch, turn, and mark—allowing the exhibition’s narrative trails to continue through the act of reading.

《Paper Trails》匯集加拿大與美國的當代原住民族藝術家,透過突破傳統二維形式的創作,拓展「紙」作為藝術媒材與敘事載體的可能。展覽聚焦文化保存、被遮蔽的歷史、殖民與破壞條約所留下的持續影響,並觸及寄宿學校創傷、身分認同、土地與資源、種族及性別等議題。同時,作品也展現原住民族知識體系、文化韌性與自我再現的力量。
Paper Trails brings together contemporary Indigenous artists from Canada and the United States whose works expand paper beyond its traditional two-dimensional form, exploring its possibilities as both an artistic medium and a vehicle for storytelling.
The exhibition addresses cultural preservation, hidden histories, and the enduring impacts of colonization and broken treaties, alongside themes of residential school trauma, identity, land, resources, race, and gender. At the same time, it highlights the resilience of Indigenous knowledge systems and the power of self-representation.
