Have you also noticed hotter summers and winters that seem to be slowly disappearing? As climate conditions become increasingly extreme, how can we work together to create a more sustainable way of living?

This exhibition, titled Futures of Coexistence, explores the idea of “coexistence” as a response to the long-term question of how humans and nature can coexist in the face of climate change and environmental crises. “Future” refers not only to time yet to come, but also to a direction that must be actively shaped through our actions now.

How can artists put the idea of sustainability into practice through creative work? The three participating artists and groups—Ying-Ting Chen, Sheng-Wen Chen, and Weed Day—use natural fibers, sustainable materials, and agricultural waste as their primary media. Through these materials, they reconsider the relationships between resource circulation, the environment, and human activity. The artists also collaborate with local elementary school students and the public through workshops, extending artistic practice beyond the museum into schools and communities, and encouraging intergenerational dialogue through collaborative creation.

Through the regeneration and transformation of materials, as well as the process of collective making, this exhibition focuses not only on artistic outcomes, but also on the relationships and possibilities that emerge between humans and nature, and between individuals and society. By viewing the works and participating in collaborative activities, audiences are invited to reflect on their own connection with the environment, deepen their understanding of sustainability, and imagine a more sustainable future.
