傳統木雕與織紋拉成向量線條，這樣是可以的？傳統毛利木雕（Whakairo）帶著手感溫度與神聖意涵，原住民族的織布與圖紋則是一針一線織進家族的故事。然而，當我們打開 Illustrator，把祖先的圖案變成印花、文創商品或品牌 Logo 時，那個轉化的過程究竟是怎麼發生的？
面對當代商業市場對原民圖騰的喜愛與剪貼，什麼是「尊重與對話」，什麼又是「未經思考的文化挪用（Appropriation）」？
這場沙龍邀請到台灣賽德克族視覺藝術家 Siyat Moses 阮原閔，以及來自紐西蘭Taki Māori團隊中的的毛利藝術家們，跨越太平洋共同對談。我們將深入討論創作者如何擁抱數位工具，同時把文化主導權緊緊握在自己手裡！

Community Conversations | When Cultural Motifs Go Digital: Borrowing, Transformation, and Boundaries in Contemporary Indigenous Visual Art
When traditional carvings and woven patterns become digital lines, does their spirit come with them?
Traditional Māori wood carving (whakairo) carries the warmth of the artist’s hands, generations of knowledge, and deep spiritual significance. Across Indigenous cultures, woven patterns and designs tell stories of family, ancestry, and identity.
But what happens when we open Adobe Illustrator and turn ancestral designs into prints, merchandise, or brand logos?
Where does creative transformation begin, and where should we draw the line?
As Indigenous designs become increasingly popular in contemporary art, fashion, and commercial branding, important questions arise:
What does genuine cultural respect and dialogue look like? And when does inspiration cross the line into cultural appropriation?
For this special evening of conversation, we bring together Siyat Moses, a contemporary visual artist from Taiwan’s Seediq Nation, and Māori artists from Taki Māori, a family of cultural practitioners from Aotearoa New Zealand.
Across the Pacific, they’ll share perspectives on the relationship between traditional cultural knowledge and contemporary visual expression, exploring how Indigenous artists can embrace digital technologies while maintaining ownership, agency, and authority over their cultural heritage.
Join us for an evening of art, culture, and conversation.
Whether you’re an artist, designer, student, or simply curious about the stories and responsibilities behind Indigenous visual culture, you’re warmly invited to be part of the dialogue.
