Hakka Daily Life in Colors (色彩裡的客家日常) / Civil Affairs Department, Hsinchu City Government (新竹市政府民政處)

This exhibition takes "Color × Life × Hands" as the curatorial main axis. Through daily handmade clues such as indigo dyeing, Ai-ban (艾粄, mugwort rice cakes), and vegetation, it leads everyone to re-see how the Hakka ethnic group transforms natural materials into color memories in life. From gathering and dyeing cloth to kneading ingredients, every process contains the simple, diligent, and land-approaching life philosophy of Hakka people. Walking into the exhibition hall, you will see the gentle flowing power of culture between color scales and textures.
