今晚，到啦里吧銀青共創基地，參加第六屆「設計師游牧計畫」的成果展——《回家之後，生根之前》。
楊文廣是我們 RJU 的成員。真的佩服他，把這個計畫一路做到了第六屆。他和身邊清一色女生的團隊，完成了一件很了不起的事。
今年，六位年輕設計師來到台東達仁鄉的台坂部落，駐村兩個月。先在這裡生活，認識人、認識地方，再把所見所感化為設計。
看著展覽，最讓我感動的有兩件事。
一是，這兩個月會在這六位年輕設計師的生命裡，留下多深的印記。我想，無論她們以後走到哪裡、做什麼，這段經驗都會跟著她們一輩子。
二是羨慕。羨慕她們有機會被部落接納，走進日常生活，深入認識排灣文化。我在台東住了十七年，還沒有過這樣的機會。
兩個月，時間不長。但能夠這樣走進一個地方、走近一群人，是很難得的事。
Tonight, I went to the Laliba intergenerational co-creation base for the sixth Designers’ Nomadism residency exhibition, 《回家之後，生根之前》—After Coming Home, Before Taking Root.
Michael Yang is a member of our RJU community. I really admire him for bringing this programme into its sixth edition. He and his all-female team have accomplished something remarkable.
This year, six young designers spent two months living in the Paiwan community of Taiban, in Taitung’s Daren Township. They got to know the people and the place, allowing their experiences to inform their designs.
Two things moved me most as I looked around the exhibition.
The first was how deeply these two months might shape the lives of these six young designers. I imagine that wherever they go and whatever they do next, this experience will stay with them for life.
The second was envy. They had the chance to be welcomed into the community, share in everyday life and get to know Paiwan culture in depth. I have lived in Taitung for seventeen years and have yet to have an opportunity like this.
Two months is not a long time. But to get to know a place and its people in this way is something rare.
