The Cultural Vocation Department’s graduation exhibition “Re-creation,” which runs until Jan. 19 at the Bopiliao Historic Block (剝皮寮歷史街區) in Taipei’s Wanhua District (萬華), includes the comic art from student Huang Yu-ting (黃郁婷), as well as 33 additional pieces from other students, the school said.
The exhibition’s theme is the endless flow of life, and would showcase everyday objects, craftsmanship and various forms of human interactions, university president Wang Hsi-fu (王錫福) said.
Huang’s comic work Spring Breeze, Strings’ Talk (春風弦語) drew inspiration from Teng, whose popular songs, such as Spring Breeze (望春風) and Flowers in the Rainy Night (雨夜花), are sung in Hoklo (commonly known as Taiwanese). [FULL STORY]
