In Art We Trust We Trust in Art 竹圍工作室二十五週年

2020年，竹圍工作室迎向25歲！

從廢棄雞寮，搖身為改變發生的匯聚之地——1995年成立的竹圍工作室，從地理與性格上的邊緣性，孵育出包容開放精神，從另類勢力與前衛藝術催生者，成為陪伴創藝工作者的強大助力，同時連結國際網絡與在地行動、推動文化與社會環境的改變。

我們是跨領域、跨國界的文化藝術交流平台，也積極介入公共議題，推動各種創作、展演、實驗研究、社區發展、藝術教育等計畫與行動。我們實踐著草根行動力與開創精神，不斷探索藝文社群與社會共創價值的策略——深信：「藝術具備社會價值，並擁有觸發改變的能量。」

歡慶25歲同時，竹圍工作室要以自身為節點，回顧歷程，也集結各方能量，探索當前與未來的倡議與實踐方針。我們擷取與藝術交集的五大議題：「環境永續」、「社會實踐」、「人才養成」、「機構發展」、「國際交流」，將分別從研究回顧、案例採集、跨域交流工作坊、週年論壇、線上與實體出版等形式，迎向壯年！

這不只是竹圍工作室的重要標記，也是獨立藝術空間與藝術工作者，歷經1/4世紀歷程後，面向下個世代的發聲。

2020 - Looking Toward Bamboo Curtain Studio's 25th Anniversary!

In 1995, we transformed an abandoned chicken coop into a convergent place of change, a place that we formed into the Bamboo Curtain Studio. We incubated an embracing spirit of innovation from the marginality of geography and character. From alternative power and trailblazers of avant-garde art, we became a powerful aid accompanying creative artists, simultaneously weaving international connections and local movements, promoting both socio-environmental and cultural change.

We're an interdisciplinary, multinational cultural and art exchange platform that actively engages in discussions on public issues, promotes a variety of projects and activities such as various creative works, performances, experimental research, community development, and art education. We put into practice grassroots-level activism and a spirit of innovation, ceaselessly exploring strategies through which artistic communities and society achieve value co-creation, on the firm belief that arts delivers social values and has the power to spark change.

In celebrating our 25th birthday, Bamboo Curtain Studio wants to put the focus on itself by looking back at its milestones, and pool together various voices to explore the initiatives and guidelines for the present and future. We've identified five main issues that intersect with the arts – Sustainable Environment, Social Practice, Talent Cultivation, Institutional Development, and International Exchange. Through an exciting program of activities including literature review, case studies, interdisciplinary exchange workshops, annual forums, e-book and physical publishing, we are ready to embrace the robust years ahead of us!

This isn't just a hallmark of the Bamboo Curtain Studio, but the voice of arts practitioners and an independent artists' space, that, after a quarter of a century, is looking towards the future.
