「2016 Pulima藝術獎」旨在體現台灣原住民族主體精神之創作，並藉展覽呈現原住民藝術的時代面貌。本展覽關注當今原住民創作者如何理解與感知現世處境，面對全球化與殖民現代性的侵襲，原住民議題如何以更廣泛且多元的方式來討論?我們將透過中青輩藝術家的創作來重新省視個人與文化的連結，同時溯源與創造當下，開創傳統及未來之間的詮釋和想像，也為下一世代展開建構主體歷史的道路。

　　The 2016 Pulima Art Award aims to represent the spirit of indigenous peoples in Taiwan as the subject of their artistic creation and the different facets of Taiwan’s contemporary indigenous arts. This exhibition focuses on how contemporary indigenous artists in Taiwan perceive and interpret their current conditions amidst the impacts of globalization and modern cultural colonization and how issues about indigenous peoples can be discussed in broader and more diverse fashions. Through the works by young and middle generations of indigenous artists in this exhibition, we intend to reflect upon the connections between individuals and cultures, conceive different interpretations and imaginations about tradition and future, and explore a path for the next generation to create their own history.
