English	Tafalong is one of the largest and oldest Pangcah tribes in Taiwan's indigenous community. This exhibition presents its culture through the interweaving of artifacts and myths. The mythological scenarios are translated by modern space design, using light and sound to craft the storyline in the visiting experience. The darkness at the entrance resets the visitors. They then traverse a narrow passage into a small space before progressing to an open staircase symbolizing sloping terrain. In the theatrical display, the artifacts appear imbued with life, fostering a deep connection for visitors to gain a profound understanding of ancestral wisdom.
Native	太巴塱是台灣原住民阿美族中最大且最古老的部落之一，本展覽「TAFALONG 太巴塱」透過文物及神話的交織展示呈現了部落的文史脈絡。空間設計以現代化的語彙轉譯神話情景以及祖先遷徙的意象，在新落成的部落文化場域這個僅約 170 m² 的展覽空間中藉由光線結合空間的變化，創造觀展體驗的起承轉合。從剛進門的黑暗作為感受歸零的起點，訪客先穿過窄小通道進入到一個小空間內體驗沈浸式的聲光變化，接著往前來到開闊的階梯前，象徵著坡地的階梯建構出劇場感，文物在聚光中充滿靈魂。除了視覺體驗的安排外，也藉由族人錄製的神話故事作為聲音的引導，體現部落口傳文化的精神。突破傳統單向展示文物的手法，此展覽空間將訪客也納入風景的一部分。坡地階梯在講座課程舉辦時也能作為座位區使用，訪客坐在象徵著過往祖先遷徙定居的路途上，與身旁的文物一起，聆聽關於土地的故事，又或是談論文化的進程。這樣的景像如同過去以及現在的時間軸交錯在一起，共譜出通往未來的道路。
