Once seen as “traditional” or “women’s craft,” materials such as fiber, ceramics, dyeing, and weaving have moved from the margins to the very center of the global art stage. No longer defined solely by technique or form, they have become contemporary vessels for narratives of labor, the body, memory, and cultural identity.

At ART TAIPEI 2025, Ever Harvest Art Gallery presents " Departure・Return ", bringing together intergenerational and multidisciplinary artists to explore how craft is reactivated in an era of accelerating virtuality — transforming into a creative strategy that reconnects people and objects, skill and emotion, and opens up non-linear histories and futures.
