Vietnamese Immigrating Garden Project－Borderless Garden

Vietnamese artist Tuan Mami has long explored issues of immigration. Through field research, he observed that many Vietnamese people living in Taiwan, including new residents and immigrant workers, quietly grow plants from home on balconies, rooftops, and in the corners of factories, using familiar tastes and scents to ease homesickness. Vietnamese Immigrating Garden Project: Borderless Garden creates a garden that crosses boundaries within the Culture Forest on the fifth floor of Taichung Green Museumbrary. Acting as a social platform, the project invites Vietnamese communities to gather, share seeds and stories. In doing so, it seeks to foster dialogue between art and society, while responding to Taichung’s local context as an important place of settlement to Southeast Asian immigrant communities. The project opens up new possibilities for multicultural coexistence through contemporary art.

As an integrated cultural venue within Taichung Green Museumbrary, the Culture Forest sits at the threshold between the museum and the library, embodying the institution’s cross-disciplinary vision. Here, the garden becomes a site that functions as both art installation and documentary archive.
