「我們第二個家」探索臺灣與拉丁美洲之間豐富多元的跨文化關係。展覽命題環繞著人們對於「歸屬感」的追求，一個私密卻普世的渴望。本展集結多位來自拉丁美洲目前居住在台灣的藝術家們，包含瓜地馬拉、宏都拉斯、貝里斯及墨西哥等國家，並透過策展實踐將藝術轉譯為象徵性的創作語言。藝術家們不僅代表他們的家鄉，更藉由藝術創作表現對臺灣——「第二個家」的情感，通過展出作品建立臺灣與拉丁美洲文化的視覺橋樑。「我們第二個家」希冀帶領每位觀眾，不分國籍與文化，皆可透過藝術家獨特的創作語彙，並連結自身的生命經驗，在跨文化的語境下，一同探尋並分享這份「歸屬感」。

臺灣與拉丁美洲相隔一萬五千公里，兩地的文化相去甚遠，卻在「新富町文化市場」——前身為新富市場的建築物，1935年成立於臺北萬華，經翻修重整後於2017年重新對外開放——交織出獨一無二的邂逅。本次展演場域在展覽主題的敘事中也扮演著重要角色。它不僅是一座具有價值的文化資產，更勾勒出「家」的意象，熱情地敞開大門迎接國際化的藝術實踐，並邀請大家一同參與跨文化的對話。
作為生活在臺灣的拉丁美洲裔族群，我們衷心感謝能受到歡迎並在此扎根生活，我們不再只將自己認定為「拉丁裔」，更將自己視為「臺灣人」！

‘Our Second Home’ explores the enriching transcultural relationship shared between Taiwan and Latin America. The meaning of the title itself revolves around the idea of building a ‘sense of belonging’, which is a universal yet personal deep sensation everyone longs for. This is symbolically translated through the curation of a collection of artworks produced exclusively by artists from Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, and Mexico based in Taiwan. These artists are not only here to represent their country of origin, but also Taiwan —considered as their ‘second home’. Each work serves as a visual bridge that connects and harmoniously combines Taiwanese and Latin American culture. It is hoped that everyone, regardless of their nationality, are able to relate personally to the narratives expressed in the artworks and at the same time share that sense of ‘belonging’ within the transcultural context the exhibition sets.

The geographical barrier of 15,000 kilometers that physically separates Taiwan and Latin America is broken down and both regions are brought together to meet at Shintomicho Cultural Market located in Wanhua District. Established in 1935, it was known before as Xinfu Market and later in 2017 it reopened officially to the public. The chosen venue itself holds significant value as a subject matter in the narrative of the exhibition. It’s not only a building with heritage value, moreover it is symbolically a ‘home’ that has warmly opened its doors to international art practice and welcomes everyone to come engage in cross cultural discourses.

On behalf of the Latin American community in Taiwan, we are grateful to be welcomed to come put down roots here and be able to consider ourselves not only as ‘Latinos’, but also as 臺灣人!
