“Mountains. Spirit. Respect” delineates a universal value that indigenous people have held for thousands of years. The essence of mountains, spirituality, and respect leads modern people to reexamine and return to an ecological environment that is harmonious with nature. A selfish and greedy exploitation of nature is transformed into a simple and content attitude for a coexisting, mutually beneficial, and shared relationship with nature. The Museum of World Religions is committed to cultivating wisdom, faith, and care for the natural environment. Co-curated with Chung Yuan Christian University professor Walis Labai, we hope that “Mountains. Spirit. Respect - Returning to the Pure Land of Ancestral Wisdom” contemporary art exhibition will encourage people to understand the significance and value behind the spiritual culture and traditions of aboriginal people.

This exhibition invites sixteen artists and writers from the Amis, Atayal, Truku, Sediq, Rukai, Paiwan, Pinuyumayan, and Bunun tribes. From the three aspects of "returning to nature", "spiritual vision" and " beliefs in life", this exhibition presents creative meaning that focuses on the spirituality of nature. By merging the artistic expressions of life experiences and ideological interpretations, it brings out the cultural characteristics of ethnic groups that transcend established forms. We hope to guide audiences to rethink the relationship between humans and the natural world, while opening a pure, natural, and self-reflective window.
