本次展覽透過臺灣原創動畫、漫畫、插畫作品勾勒出懷舊的記憶，藉由不同的故事背景喚醒記憶中對過去的憧憬，憶起溫暖的童年回憶，也呈現不同創作者對於記憶中的家鄉的印象。

Through original works of Taiwanese animation, cartoon, and illustration, the exhibition outlines nostalgic memories; with stories of different backgrounds, the exhibition reawakens the longings for the past within our memories, reconjuring warm childhood memories while also presenting different creators’ impressions of their hometowns in their memories.

在左萱作品《神之鄉》中，故事主角因研究調查再次回到家鄉，第一次參與大溪年度廟會活動，在活動中不斷回想著孩時的記憶；阮光民作品《用九柑仔店》書中俊龍離開家鄉到台北讀書，因爺爺生病再次回到家鄉守著家中的雜貨店，但他守著的不是只有店，裡面也有著滿滿的人情味，藉由回鄉再次喚醒著自己成長記憶。
In “The Summer Temple Fair” by Zuo Hsuan, the protagonist returns to his hometown for research project, and participates for the first time in the annual temple fair of Daxi; during the fair, he constantly reminiscences his childhood. In Ruan Guang-min’s “Yong-Jiu Grocery Store,” Jung-long has left home to study in Taipei, only to return to be the keeper of the family grocery store after his grandfather has gotten ill. However, he is not just guarding the store, but also the rich emotions and sentiments within it, and Jung-long’s memories of growing up are once again reawakened by his return.

61Chi《南方小鎮時光》中因離家生活懷念著家鄉的一切，回家不再沉重而是甜蜜的回憶，因為在異地生活才能懷念家鄉的美好。《踅菜市仔》中挑選了36座台南府城的傳統市場，在插畫家湯士賢的筆下，見證了傳統市場的人情味。宋欣穎導演的動畫《幸福路上》裡，小琪從小到大嚮往著美好國外生活，去了國外過著眾人稱羨得美好的人生，但卻在異地迷失了自己，透過回憶成長的過程，不斷地探索自我，最終發現平凡就是幸福。
In “Small Town, Southern Time” by 61Chi, the main character misses everything back home after leaving home to live elsewhere, and coming home is no longer stressful and burdensome, but full of sweet memories; only when we have gone elsewhere do we remember the wonderful things back home. “Tainan Traditional Market Map” selects 36 traditional markets in Tainan, and witnesses the warmth of traditional markets through the tip of illustrator Cecil Tang’s pen. In animation, “On Happiness Road” directed by Sung Hsin-yin, Chi longs for a wonderful life overseas ever since she was a child; she goes overseas and leads a wonderful life everyone would be envious of, but she loses herself in a foreign land. Through reminiscing the course of her life, she continues to explore self, and finally realizes that the ordinary is true happiness.

「懷舊」讓人憶起家鄉的美好，藉由每一幅在台灣的故事篇章，讓我們了解到，原來簡單的幸福就在內心深處的「記憶」裡。
“Nostalgia” reminds people of the wonderful things about home. Through each one of these stories of Taiwan, we realize that simple happiness is within our “memories” deep down inside.
