Description of Our Community: Our definition of "community" is the Chinese artworks in local Taiwanese museums. Through the traces of art left by those before us, we can better understand the past. In the change of times and the passage of history, in the era without mobile phones and the internet, beautifully written words and paintings with stories are quietly preserved. They tell us tales about our past, and the one who preserves and restores these stories is our protagonist - Artifact Restorers.

Project Description: Art is the universal way people express ideas and thoughts. From prehistoric cave paintings to ancient scriptures to modern movies all play such a function. Since Mengtian invented the Chinese writing brush, our culture has been recorded on silk paper. Unlike slates or wooden boards, silk paper will wear out due to humidity and temperature. We want to let more people understand the culture behind each painting through adequate restoration and conservation processes and the care restorers show to artifacts.
