NOBODY’S PAWN | WE ARE…
不是誰的棋子｜我們是…

Matsu, the most militarized island in modern history, embodies Taiwan’s fraught relationship with geography. Its coastline reflects survival and defense, while its people exemplify creativity and resilience, despite reductive New Cold War logics that cast them as mere pawns in geopolitical chess.

NOBODY’S PAWN | WE ARE… is a social practice installation and cultural organizing platform rooted in this history. It reimagines the Go board (圍棋)—a game of war and territorial control—as a space for intergenerational dialogue and memory-keeping.

Opening September 2025 at the Matsu Biennial, curated by 吳漢中, in partnership with the Matsu Youth Development Association. Commissioned by the Lienchiang County Government and 中華文化總會.
