What does it mean to restage traditions that have disappeared, and how? Through La XXX Punk, Amis artist Fangas Nayaw speculates on the extinction of Taiwan’s Indigenous Peoples’ cultures via notions of Indigenous-punk futurism. Fangas begins the creative process by creating legislative rules and guidelines for Indigenous customs that do not exist. Featuring a 4-channel video work, documenting the disappearance of a shared life form of Amis People’s past and traditions. Betel Nut Green is a live work reimagining the musical and choreographic embodiment of Indigenous Peoples’ future through a collective fictionalisation towards rewriting futuristic history as embodied by four performers from various Nations of Taiwan. Yet this hidden and invisible color is not the black or white of day and night — it is green: vivid, life-giving, and rooted in the earth.
