Newspaper launch

In 2023, “Citing Bar” featured four sub-projects at Solid Art in Taipei, Taiwan, all revolving around the closely intertwined concepts of rest, healing, immigration, crip ecologies and climate justice. This publication serves as a summary of the various explorations and learnings throughout the four seasons of the year. Presented in the form of a newspaper to facilitate the flow of information, it also crystallizes as an invitation and an end-of-year blessing to the world.

The 22th Taishin Arts Award

Solid Art’s current exhibition, ‘Dreamer’s Wake – KAO Ya-Ting Solo Exhibition,’ has been nominated for the third quarter of the 22nd TaiShin Arts Award.

We would like to express our gratitude for the nomination from Lin Yi-Hsiu! As the exhibition enters its final week, we invite you to seize this opportunity!

Citing Bar

“Citing Bar” is a platform exploring the environmental humanities, sustainability and feminism. The title takes ‘drinking’ –the mandarin homophonic of ‘citing’– as a ritual of both nurturing the bodies and connecting to a holistic nature, while paying homage to the evolving concept of “politics of citation” to correspond to the core spirit of the project, that is, to acknowledge origins, borders and ordeals, thereby building a sense of solidarity for the purpose of enabling land, the environment, human and more-than-human to prosper together. 

While stimulating cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural collaboration, ‘citing bar’ wishes to expand multiple forms of knowledge, ecological wisdom and worldviews transmitting transformative energy into this planet that is bombarded by multiple crises and conflicts. Apart from making space for exhibitions, library (reading) and tea-drinking (resting), participatory events including translation, research, writing, reportage and publication will be organized to raise sustained awareness of care and justice.

The 21th Taishin Arts Award

We are pleased to announce that “The Oceans and The Interpreters ” was awarded for the 21th Taishin Art Awards, one of the most prestigious award in Taiwan!
