Through weaving techniques and woven patterns, “Genius Weavers” sheds light on the living wisdom, aesthetics, ethnic group identification, as well as cultural inheritance embedded in Taiwan’s diverse Indigenous cultures.
The exhibition unfolds in four sections—Materials, Tools, Textiles, and Basketry—followed by Interpretation, which explores new expressions inspired by Indigenous weaving. Many weavers still harvest or cultivate their own fibers and fashion their own tools, completing their work with focused unity of hand and heart. These practices reveal the deep ties between craft, nature, society, and spirituality.
They also reflect the NTCRI’s SLOHAS philosophy: Living with Craft, Living with Ease, which brings together slow living and LOHAS through six values: Simplicity, Lifestyle, Originality, Health, Aesthetics, and Sustainability. Together they form a cycle of “virtuous art,” sparking creativity rooted in tradition yet open to renewal.
The exhibition is on view through Mar. 22, 2026. For more information, visit NTCRI official website.
