Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract/Objectives
Sustainability requires a long-term perspective, looking beyond immediate interests to consider future generations. We are responsible for maintaining nature's balance, ensuring all living beings a dignified life. “ReGenerating Tomorrow: Sustainability, Environment, and Imagination” envisions a future where true sustainability guarantees each tomorrow. Art, as both reflection and catalyst for change, offers perspectives on the present while engaging with future challenges. More than that, it sparks imagination, wonder, and insight. The works in this exhibition explore the concept of a "perpetual tomorrow" or a "continuously regenerating future," offering glimpses into new possibilities. Through artistic creation, we confront today’s realities while opening pathways to a more sustainable, thoughtful, and interconnected world.
Results/Contributions

The exhibition "ReGenerating Tomorrow: Sustainability, Environment, and Imagination" is organized by the O-Bank Education Foundation and co-organized by the Hsinchu City Government, National Tsing Hua University, Accton Arts Foundation, and the Hsinchu Railway Art Village. Showcasing works by 11 artists (or collectives), the exhibition will take place simultaneously at the O-Bank Art Gallery in Taipei and the Hsinchu Railway Art Village. Participating artists include Wu Pin-Chieh, Wu Nien-Hsun, Wu Lian-Yin, Chou Yu-Chun, Lin Hsin-Yi, Lin Yi-Cheng and Yang Chien-Sheng, Lin Chia-Hung, Ling Tsai-Wen, Transpossum and Hsu Shao-En, Yeh Chia-Chi, and Chiang Wei-Shan.


To emphasize sustainability in art, the exhibition features a sustainability lecture in Taipei and a workshop in Hsinchu. The "Sustainability Lecture: Co-Creation Among Artists, Enterprises, and Cultural Venues" invites Dr. Jung Fang-Chieh from NTHU’s Department of Environmental and Cultural Resources to discuss sustainability in art and cultural heritage with the curator. Meanwhile, the "刺碼 (Stitched Code) Workshop," led by Associate Professor Lin Hsin-Yi from NTHU’s Department of Art and Design, will guide participants in creating embroidered codes based on their names.


To enhance educational engagement, curator Chang Ching-Wen has integrated the exhibition into two courses at NTHU’s Department of Art and Design: "Curatorial Practice" and "Internship in the Art Industry." The former explores sustainability concepts and contemporary curatorial approaches, with students working in groups to develop curatorial proposals. The latter offers students internships at professional art institutions, including the O-Bank Education Foundation and the Hsinchu Railway Art Village, reinforcing the exhibition’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of curators and arts administrators.
