2021 臺東巷弄舊事生活節 2021 Taitung Historical Street Festival

由臺東縣政府文化處舉辦的「2021臺東巷弄舊事生活節」9月5日在中華會館內開場，搭配《一卡皮箱》舊物展覽與古典鋼琴及聲樂在老建築空間重溫泛黃的記憶，舊街的鄉親父老們紛紛到場欣賞，隨著周美君老師悠揚的琴聲與張琳琳老師高亢的女高音，哼唱出一首又一首的經典老歌，演出內容讓街訪鄰居如癡如醉，一同沉浸在懷舊氛圍中。

Sponsored by Taitung County Government's Cultural Affairs Department, the 2021 Taitung Historical Street Festival launched on the 5th of September inside the halls of the Taitung Chinese Association. Local residents of the historical neighborhood strolled through exhibitions of local vintage goods displayed in this historical building reminiscent of fond memories past. The exhibit was accompanied by live performances from classical pianist Mei-Chun Chou and Bel Canto Soprano Lin-Lin Chang. Their rendition of the classic oldies melody captured the hearts of all those who attended the event.

舊物展覽中每一個木箱都承載著一個家族的遷徒歲月，似熟悉卻又陌生，塵封多年的老物件堆積在家中角落，終得以伸展筋骨，展示在民眾面前！「哎呀！這個我家也有....，這番仔火好懷念喔~」有看到舊物陷入回憶的伯伯、阿姨，也有小朋友拉著媽媽衣角好奇發問：「這是什麼?」在這裡有不同回憶、不同青春，最後卻都帶著相同的笑容離開。

Every wooden family treasure chest displayed at the vintage goods exhibition tells the story of that particular family's migration history. All these familiar yet forgotten everyday household items have been proudly displayed for all to see. Now and then, an older exhibition visitor would shout out, "I had forgotten I have this stashed somewhere in my house too!" But you might also catch a younger child asking his mom," What is that for?" Though the exhibition provoked different nostalgic memories for everyone, one thing held in common was that they all left the event with a big smile on their faces.

歲月如梭了無痕，你是如何記錄歲月的呢？有人寫日記、有人用相機，臺東的老街廓，用斑駁的鐵窗、生鏽的欄杆寫下歷史印記。「生鏽不是壞掉，而是時間走過的痕跡」，當天會場後方，邀請知名染織藝術家傅菊珠老師帶著民眾體驗鏽染DIY，讓每一位民眾都可以在不起眼的地方發現生活中的藝術，從家中開始尋找、創作出屬於自己的日常藝術。

Time flies like an arrow. Some people document the details of their lives through writing a diary or capturing moments on camera. Time is carefully recorded through the mottled metal window grids and the rusted railings of all the old buildings on Taitung's historic streets. Rust becomes a natural art form through the eyes of the famous tie-dye artist Fu Chu Chu. Through this unique rust tie-dye DIY, every participant discovered art in the most inconspicuous corner and created their signature masterpiece.
