讓光影敘述著孩子們溫暖的家族記憶，

故事旅程計劃：Illuminating the Heart of Taiwan

引言

2018年，一個名為故事燈的計劃在台北市萬聖社區誕生。這項計劃希望透過孩子的視角，利用燈光與影子的探索並創造出驚奇影像，說出找尋已久的家族地方故事。透過燈光與藝術作品展出呈現來自於人文的歷史軌跡並展示地方文化故事。隨著時間的推移，故事燈計劃不僅成為當地的文化節慶活動，還促進了跨代情感的連結，並引發了對地方記憶與文化的深刻思考。

計劃的起源與發展

2018年：起源與啟動

故事燈計劃於2018年10月正式啟動，旨在讓孩子們通過探索和講述家庭故事來了解並珍視他們生活的城市。第一屆文化節活動中，孩子們參加了各種主題項目，從中發掘城市記憶，並以創意燈籠的形式展示這些故事。

2019年：擴展與應用

計劃在2019年進一步擴展，進入台北市南部的萬聖社區。透過STEAM課程，學生們學習到如何將家庭故事與城市記憶連結起來。這些課程包括故事收集、創意燈籠製作、社區展覽以及文化交流，旨在重新塑造當地文化。2019年的台北燈節中，學生們與長者共同利用傳統剪紙技藝，製作燈籠，並在活動中展示這些作品。

2020年：深化與發展

2020年的計劃主題為「水的記憶」，探索隱藏在台北市地下的古老灌溉系統。學生與家長們共同製作了一艘故事船，並以河流視角重新認識城市。這一年，學生們還參加了寶藏巖光節，展示他們的作品，並與社區居民分享他們發現的故事。

2021年：多樣化與交流

2021年的主題為「聲音的記憶」，學生們記錄家中長輩喜愛的旋律和歌曲，並創作音樂盒，將這些聲音轉化為可視化的故事。這些活動促使學生理解過去，激發對未來的思考，並在後疫情時代跨代連結情感。

系列課程介紹

  1. 故事收集與撰寫：學生通過訪談當地長者，記錄口述歷史，了解並記錄社區的過去。
  2. 創意燈籠製作：學生學習燈籠設計與製作，將收集到的故事以創意方式展現出來。

Let Light Tell Our Stories
The Story Lamp Journey: Illuminating the Heart of Taiwan

It all started back in 2018, in a small corner of Taipei called Wansheng Community.
At that time, I had a simple wish — to help children see their families and their hometowns through a different kind of light. Quite literally.

We began building story lamps — handmade lights that could carry the warmth of family memories and local stories. Each child designed a lamp inspired by their grandparents’ tales, neighborhood legends, or their own imagination. And when the lamps lit up, the whole room seemed to breathe with stories that had been quietly waiting to be told.

Where It All Began

Our very first Story Lamp Festival was held in 2018. The children explored their families’ histories, collected stories, and turned them into glowing artworks. Some stories were funny, others deeply moving — but all of them revealed how much life exists in the small corners of home.

In 2019, we expanded the project through STEAM education, combining art, technology, and storytelling. Children learned how to connect their family memories with the city’s cultural heritage. During the Taipei Lantern Festival that year, students and grandparents worked side by side, crafting lamps with traditional paper-cutting techniques — a beautiful dialogue between generations, lit by soft, trembling light.

New Chapters in Light and Sound

In 2020, our theme was “The Memory of Water.”
Students and parents built a story boat and explored Taipei’s hidden waterways — discovering how rivers have quietly shaped the city for centuries. Their work was later displayed at the Treasure Hill Light Festival, where the lights shimmered like rippling memories on the walls.

Then came 2021, when we turned to “The Memory of Sound.”
Children recorded songs their grandparents loved and created small music boxes that played these tunes. Each melody became a bridge between generations — a reminder that love, once heard, never really disappears.

What We Do Today

Our workshops still follow the same heartbeat:

Collect family stories through interviews with elders and neighbors.

Turn those stories into art — story lamps, music boxes, or story plates.

Share them with the community, inviting families to see how light and creativity can bring us closer together.

We’ve seen laughter, tears, and many small miracles along the way. A child once told me, “When I see my grandma’s story glowing, it feels like she’s smiling from inside the lamp.” Moments like that remind me why this project matters.

A Light That Keeps Traveling

What began as a small local idea has slowly grown into a way for families — and even communities — to reconnect. The Story Lamp Project has since traveled to festivals and schools, sparking cross-cultural exchanges and inspiring others to share their own stories in light and sound.

But honestly, beyond all the exhibitions and events, what stays with me most is the feeling of togetherness. Every time a lamp lights up, it feels like the room gets a little warmer — and so does the world.

After all, stories are meant to be shared, and light was never meant to shine alone.
