關渡國際自然藝術季 Guandu International Nature Art Festival
「關渡國際自然藝術季」,原名關渡國際自然裝置藝術季,自2006年起舉行,是臺灣首次有大型自然藝術活動在以保育為出發點的自然公園舉辦。每年邀請多位國際藝術家,利用自然素材現地創作出能展現藝術美感、傳遞環境關懷的戶外裝置作品。創作過程重視公眾參與,透過對話與合作融入在地精神。活動紮根於深具生態保育價值與豐富河口文化的關渡濕地,打造人與藝術、自然的對話空間,探討「人與自然的關係」這門重要課題,期望能為現代社會與自然相處的失衡狀態找回平衡點。這場藝術行動為關渡自然公園描繪了一幅河口文化、濕地保育與環境藝術共生的藍圖。藝術季藉著十五年累積的經驗與感動,下一階段將落實、深化對地方的了解與關懷,期望參與其中的每個人,能更主動積極地去重建自己與環境的關係,受自然啟發,共同為未來生命的永續找到方向。
Guandu International Nature Art Festival (originally entitled Guandu International Outdoor Sculpture Festival), dating back to 2006, was Taiwan's first large-scale natural art event held in a conservation park. With the experience in the past ten years, this art event has come to a new stage by resetting its title since 2016. The triangle composed of river culture, wetland conservation, and environmental art is still the solid foundation of the curatorial concepts. This event aims to serve as a catalyst to deepen the public’s awareness of our environment, as well as care for local cultures. It is hoped that every single participant of this festival will take the initiative to connect with their surroundings, to get inspired by nature, and to make an effort in finding a way to a sustainable future.
