人物簡介
‘I expect myself to be a drop of water but not the water containers as a ladle, a bowl, or a cup so that I could provide the essentials to lots of people as well as nourish many things.’ —Sakuliu Pavavalung
Born and raised in a Paiwan village in Walan, Pingtong, Sakuliu heritages his family name as Pulima, the craftsmen. He has been intrigued by his own people’s history since and keeps looking into the elderlies’ memories since he was a teenager. In order to save the tribe culture from dying and extend its life and vitality, Sakuliu dedicates years in field research in his tribe and systematically collects, describes, and organizes all his research in his manual scripts with illustrations and texts. Being one of the leading indigenous contemporary artists in Taiwan, he makes works in various media spreading from painting, sculpture, architecture to installation. Sakuliu places himself as an inspirer and makes influence to many upcoming arts makers.
