2023世界客家博覽會 新竹市展區 2023 Hakka Expo- Taiwan Route3: Hsinchu City

客家煉金術 Hakka Alchemy

​

 

​

策展團隊以「客家煉金術」為題，展覽轉譯客家人們來到竹塹城，伴隨著城市發展與變遷，與土地共同進步的過程。因此將展區打造成一座黑色的小工廠，從幽暗的廊道進場，訴說著後火車站「黑金町」地區，西部幹線鐵路路網之間有大量竹苗地區客籍工作者努力的痕跡。而後進入由黑川互動媒體打造的「質變發生的場所」，民眾可以化身為產線上的工人，隨著光影感測互動，從炙熱的質變火光到亮白色的科技光紋，參與著各個時代客家人參與城市產業變化的過程。

最後來到變遷與留存的「金山面」展區，其社區組織由下而上進行社區營造，力抗臺灣高速鐵路公司原定開發路線，讓時速300公里的高速鐵路，為300歲的老樹讓路。最後民眾能夠在展場的老樹下，細細品味多變、豐富的新竹市當代客家創新行動。

The curatorial team selected the theme "Hakka Alchemy" for the exhibition, tracing the journey of Hakka people in Hsinchu City and their adaptation to urban development. The exhibition space resembles a black factory, with visitors entering through dimly lit corridors that depict the story of the Hakka village near the  train station. Here, Hakka workers played a vital role in connecting the western mainline railway network. Next, the second exhibition area is created by Peppercorns Interactive Media Art, visitors can engage with light and shadow sensors and experience Hakka involvement in evolving urban industries, from the fiery transformation process to bright technological patterns.

​

The exhibition concludes at an old Hakka village, where grassroots community organizations resisted the planned development by the Taiwan High-Speed Rail Corporation. They preserved a 300-year-old tree in the path of a high-speed rail, traveling at 300 kilometers per hour. Visitors can then appreciate diverse and innovative contemporary Hakka initiatives in Hsinchu City beneath the shade of the old tree on the exhibition grounds.
