📚《日常運動》作者梁莉姿 × 譯者費正華｜南加州巡迴講座 ✍🏼
分享文學中的抵抗、記憶與見證 👩‍🏫

今年2月在北美出版的《日常運動》英譯本，近日廣獲文學及專業領域好評。文化部今年第2度邀請作者梁莉姿來美巡迴講座，分享創作靈感與作品背後的故事，其中3場將在南加州舉行！🇹🇼📚

此次巡迴除受大學邀請，與漢學家及學者深入對談，探討文學作為公共史學素材的價值，也將走進圖書館，與英語讀者面對面交流，分享作品中的記憶、歷史與生命經驗。💬

梁莉姿於2021年自香港移居臺灣。面對香港社會環境的變化，臺灣自由多元的出版環境對她而言格外重要。《日常運動》及金鼎獎獲獎作品《樹的憂鬱》也先後在臺出版。

譯者費正華（Jennifer Feeley）則曾親身見證香港近年的社會運動，翻譯《日常運動》的過程，也讓她對作品中的敘事與情感有更深的體會。🥀

誠摯邀請南加州的朋友們一起來參加，支持臺灣文學、聆聽跨越地域的故事，也讓梁莉姿與費正華感受到南加州的熱情！🥰📖

📖 Everyday Movement — Book Talks in Southern California
Author Gigi L. Leung & Translator Jennifer Feeley

We’re excited to welcome author Gigi L. Leung and translator Jennifer Feeley to Southern California for a series of book talks supported by Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture! 🇹🇼📚

Originally published in Taiwan, the English translation of Everyday Movement was released in North America this February. During their Southern California tour, Gigi and Jennifer will share the inspiration behind the book and explore how literature can preserve memory, history, and lived experience.

They will join scholars and Sinologists for conversations on literature as a source for public history, while also meeting directly with English-speaking readers at Cerritos Library. 💬

After moving from Hong Kong to Taiwan in 2021, Gigi Leung found Taiwan’s open and diverse publishing environment especially meaningful. Translator Jennifer Feeley, who witnessed Hong Kong’s recent social movements firsthand, brings her own personal perspective to the translation and the stories within the book. 🥀

Join us in Southern California to discover Taiwanese literature, hear stories of memory and resistance, and give Gigi and Jennifer a warm SoCal welcome! 👋📖

來自屏東的排灣族藝術家郭悅暘 Patadalj Laljeqelan，9月至11月正式進駐洛杉磯18街藝術中心（18th Street Arts Center），展開為期三個月的藝術家駐村計畫！👨🏼‍🎨🇹🇼🇺🇸

郭悅暘的創作跨越錄像、裝置、行為、聲音與繪畫，長期關注身體、勞動、物質文化與地方記憶之間的關係，並從在地與跨國脈絡出發，探討殖民歷史、貿易、遷移與文化交流如何形塑地方知識、集體記憶與身份認同。🪕

在此次駐村期間，郭悅暘將以臺灣、洛杉磯，以及更廣泛的原住民族與離散社群為連結，探索物質文化與歷史記憶，開啟跨地域、跨文化的創作與對話。💬

郭悅暘曾參與2026臺灣美術雙年展、2023原住民族國際南島藝術三年展等展覽，並於2024年獲臺灣南島國際美術獎首獎、2025年入選Pulima藝術獎決選。近年作品亦於北美、亞洲、南歐及紐西蘭等地展出。🗺️

18街藝術中心自1988年成立以來，持續透過駐村計畫支持來自世界各地的藝術家，並提供藝術家深入洛杉磯藝術生態、與當地策展人、學者及社群交流的機會。

期待郭悅暘在洛杉磯的駐村創作，讓更多人看見來自臺灣原住民族的藝術觀點，也期待他在臺灣與洛杉磯之間激盪出更多精彩的文化交流！✨

🇹🇼🎨 From Pingtung to Los Angeles! Welcome Paiwan artist Guo Yue-Yang to 18th Street Arts Center.

Guo Yue-Yang (Ljalje'elan Patadalj), a Paiwan artist from Pingtung, Taiwan, is joining 18th Street Arts Center as an artist-in-residence from September through November 2026.

Working across video, installation, performance, sound, and painting, Guo’s practice explores the relationships between the body, labor, material culture, and local memory. His work also examines how colonial histories, trade, migration, and cultural exchange shape knowledge, collective memory, and identity. 🪕

During his residency in Los Angeles, Guo will explore connections between Taiwan, Los Angeles, and broader Indigenous and diasporic communities, creating new opportunities for cross-cultural dialogue and artistic exchange. 💬

Guo received the Grand Prize of the Austronesian International Arts Award in 2024 and was a finalist for the 2025 PULIMA Art Award. His work has been presented in Taiwan and internationally across North America, Asia, Europe, and New Zealand. 🗺️

We look forward to seeing what Guo creates during his residency—and to celebrating new connections between Taiwan and Los Angeles through art! 🇹🇼🇺🇸✨

從侯孝賢的臺灣新電影美學，到李安細膩動人的家庭敘事，兩部作品呈現不同世代的臺灣社會與生活風景，也展現臺灣電影走向國際的重要歷程。活動將於兩部影片放映之間安排座談討論，與觀眾一同從電影出發，認識臺灣電影、社會與文化脈絡。
