Dialogue between Liugdui Indigenous & Hakka Costume Patterns

In Taiwan, Hakka, Indigenous, Pepohoan, and other ethnic groups live closely. Exchanges between ethnic groups shaped the local multicultural landscape and left many wonderful stories. The special exhibition " Searching for Shirt(qimˇsamˊ): A Dialogue between Liudui Indigenous and Hakka Costume Patterns" takes the Liudui area as the core and leads the public into the rich history of the Liudui Hakka, Paiwan, Rukai, Taivoan, and Makatao. The production shapes, embroidery techniques, and patterns on the costumes of the Indigenous and Hakka groups present their unique meanings, as well as the cultural impact after contact.



The display of various costumes allows everyone to see the diverse cultures of the groups and the close exchanges between them. In addition to being a wonderful cultural feast, it also represents cultural inheritance. The public can get a closer look at the costume culture of the Indigenous and Hakka. The ethnic concept displayed has also attracted many young people to engage in related work, learn traditional techniques, and integrate them into contemporary design techniques to achieve true sustainable inheritance.
