Li Xiangiun is a graduate student at the Department of Visual Arts, at National Pingtung University. Born with cerebral palsy, he faces challenges in speech and hand mobility but has never let his physical limitations deter him. He lives independently, pursued his studies away from home, and even completed a solo six-day round-the-island trip. Hsiang-Chun participates in inclusive arts performances, using dance to transform his physical limitations into a unique language of movement. His calligraphy painting “Dan” symbolizes his aspiration to soar toward the sun and embrace new beginnings. This year, he was awarded the Presidential Education Award and plans to use the prize to support art therapy and empowerment projects, helping others with disabilities rediscover their self-worth. We are honored to invite Xiangiun to our festival, where he will use his body as a paintbrush to showcase the boundless possibilities of art in the beautiful public space of Taikang Theater.
李翔濬為屏東大學視覺藝術系研究所學生，自幼因先天腦性麻痺，說話不清，雙手操作不易，但他不畏身體限制與生活挑戰，自立生活、勇敢追夢。大學時獨自赴外地求學，更曾一人環島六天。他參與共融藝術展演，以舞蹈打破身體的慣性束縛，將身體失控轉化為獨特的舞蹈語彙。其書法作品《旦》展現了他飛向太陽、邁向新生的精神。今年，他更榮獲總統教育獎，並將獎金投入藝術療癒與助人工作，期許幫助更多身障者找回自我價值。非常榮幸邀請翔濬於藝術節中，以身體為畫筆，在台江劇場的優美公共空間為大家呈現藝術的無限可能。
