Led by Chang En-Man, an artist of Paiwan heritage, this workshop invites participants to “make your own cross-stitch,” drawing on embroidery techniques used in the traditional clothing of Taiwan’s Indigenous peoples. As you trace an imagined path with needle and thread, you will be “stitching” together histories and exploring how traditions can be carried forward into the future.
Participants will also taste cinavu, a traditional Paiwan dish served at important ceremonies, and experience Indigenous culture through both making and eating.

Date: Saturday, February 7, 11:00–12:30 (Open 10:45)
Venue: Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, 1F Studio
Instructor: CHANG En-Man (Artist)
Capacity: 20 people (First-come, first served basis, no online reservation required)
Admission: 1,000 yen (including embroidery materials and ingredients for the traditional dish)
*Numbered tickets will be distributed from 10:00 on the day at the general information desk on the first floor of the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum.
Consecutive interpretation in Japanese and Taiwanese Mandarin will be provided.
