Join artist Yu-Chen Wang at Flowing Shoreline, a site-specific installation created at Xucuogang Wetlands that functions as both a mobile museum and a field station. This event offers the public an opportunity to hear directly from the artist about her creative vision and how she responds to the evolving relationships between tides, wind, sunlight, landscape, and diverse forms of life through field research, ecological observation, and public engagement.

Flowing Shoreline continues Yu-Chen Wang’s ongoing research into wetlandscapes, focusing on the counterpoint between the peatlands of England and the mangrove forests of Taiwan. Through archival research, fieldwork, and cross-disciplinary exchange, it explores the interplay between the ‘hyper-local’ and the ‘global’ within the context of climate change, shifting away from anthropocentric perspectives towards the interconnected coexistence of all living things.

Discussant: Kuang-chi Hung

Associate Professor, Department of Geography, National Taiwan University

Hung's research spans science, the humanities, and the natural environment, with particular focus on the history of forestry in Taiwan, the construction of biogeographical knowledge, and Indigenous systems of land and natural resource management.

Yu-Chen Wang and Prof. Kuang-chi Hung will bring perspectives from different disciplines into dialogue, exploring wetland ecology, the environment, and the relationships between people and nature.
