Taste of Memory

Monti Lai

"The Salty Breeze" Audio Guide

From part of an oral history, one Hakka woman mentioned, “it’s so tough to be a woman in Yim Tin Tsai…” with a tone of bitterness and helplessness as a Hakka woman. Monti Lai is inspired by these words and reorganises the stories of Hakka women that she has heard and witnessed over the years, and creates this artwork “Taste of Memory”. By means of videos and text contents, the artwork presents the life of Hakka women from birth to motherhood, all controlled by their identity as “Hakka women”.
