Ask the Curators Anything: Taiwan's First Citizen-Led Movement to Enhance Urban Cultural Soft Power
By｜Kuei Ya-wen、Tang Chih-mei
This is more than just a book; it is Taiwan's first cultural soft power revolution initiated by citizens. At a time when Taoyuan was jokingly referred to as a place with "great scenery but nothing to do," this book records how the "Citizen Curator" system was used to transform ordinary citizens into cultural translators for the city, building local cultural confidence from the ground up.
In this book, Ms. Kuei Ya-wen details how she transformed profound museology into everyday practice. Through innovative audiovisual communication and five-sensory courses, students reclaimed their identity with the land through planning and guided tours. This is a practical record of "changing people's hearts," demonstrating how the daily lives of common people converge into a powerful spiritual asset for the city, providing the most down-to-earth model for Taiwan's local revitalization and cultural development.
