• Taiwan to Korea

To explore how prehistoric ritual landscapes can inspire contemporary art through comparative research of Taiwan’s Bei-nan site with South Korea’s Dolmen heritage. Through on-site visits, archival study, and interviews with local scholars and cultural practitioners, Chiang will explore how these prehistoric religious and ceremonial structures can inform contemporary artistic revitalization. Chiang seeks to understand how prehistoric people in both places built their worldviews, honored their ancestors, and shaped their communities. By reinterpreting these ancient stone monuments through a creative practice, Chiang’s fellowship will foster cultural exchange while generating new perspectives on Taiwan’s prehistoric and Austronesian heritage within a broader Asia-Pacific context.
