從疫情到藝情 From Pandemic to Art

臺灣於2014年⽴法通過⾝⼼障礙者權利公約(CRPD)施⾏法，並於今(2022)年8⽉舉辦CRPD第⼆次國家報告國際審查，邀請國際⼈權專家實地審查。CRPD強調⾝⼼障礙者充分有效參與，以及透明有意義的對話平臺，⽽對話過程也可以透過軟性、體驗式對話的途徑進⾏，因此促成了「藝情時光—⾝⼼障礙創作主題展」，這是由⾝⼼障礙代表團體主導並且有障礙者參與的展覽，以展覽名稱「藝情時光」呼應⼤疫情時代，並⽤「藝術創作」與「易讀」兩個主軸揭開序曲。

本展覽由財團法⼈臺北市喜樂家族社會福利基⾦會策劃，邀請臺北市⽴陽明教養院、中華⺠國智障者家⻑總會及政府部⾨參展，分別以「堅持不把孩⼦藏起來」、「孵夢」、「易讀，讓⽣活更簡單」展區主題詮釋，藉此向國際審查委員、政府單位代表、⺠間團體代表及社會⼤眾傳遞我國障礙者的藝術創作能量及⽣命價值，展現我國易讀推廣的努⼒。

在後疫情的時刻，期待透過本展覽讓社會⼤眾看⾒⾝⼼障礙者在臺灣島嶼的⽣活及創作⽇常，建⽴平等尊重的默契，促進障礙者⾃由⾏使各項⽣活權利。

In 2014, Taiwan passed the Act to Implement the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In August of this year (2022) the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Second Report of the Republic of China (Taiwan) review meeting is taking place, with human rights professionals invited to Taiwan to conduct onsite reviews. CRPD emphasizes ample and effective participation by people with disabilities and transparent and meaningful platforms for dialogue which can be carried out in flexible and experiential ways. This is the impetus behind “Artsy Times: Thematic Exhibition of Artistic Creations by People with Disabilities,” led by disability representative organizations and with direct participation by people with disabilities themselves. The Exhibition is centered around the two main themes of “Artistic Creation” and “Easy Read.”

This exhibition is curated by the Family of Joy Social Welfare Foundation, with participation by the Taipei City Yangming Home for the Disabled and the Parents' Association for Persons with Intellectual Disability, Taiwan. Each of these three organizations presents their own exhibit area, with the respective titles: “We Don’t Hide Them Away,” “Hatching Dreams,” and “Simplifying Life with Easy Read.” Through these exhibits, the artistic energy and values of people with disabilities in Taiwan as well as Taiwan’s efforts at promoting Easy Read versions are put on display for international reviewers, representatives from government organizations, citizen organizations, and the public to see.

In this post-pandemic world, we hope that this exhibition allows members of the public to see for themselves the lives and creativity of people with disabilities residing on this island of Taiwan, establishing a basis of equality and respect, and promoting the rights of people with disabilities to live their lives freely.
