Fields of Sugar, Fields of Memory is an embroidery-based storytelling project inspired by 1950s rural Taiwan. Through hand-stitched images and short fragments of text, the work traces the quiet relationship between two women, Meili and Heshau, whose lives unfold alongside sugarcane fields, domestic routines, and moments of unspoken closeness.
The project approaches embroidery as a slow, bodily practice—one that allows memory to surface through repetition, touch, and time. Rather than presenting a linear narrative, the works offer glimpses: a gesture, a shared meal, a field at dusk. These fragments invite viewers to pause, read, and assemble their own understanding of the story.
This event is designed as a calm, contemplative space. There is no sound or performance element; visitors are encouraged to move at their own pace. Fields of Sugar, Fields of Memory offers a gentle encounter with queer intimacy, everyday life, and the kinds of stories that are often held quietly rather than spoken aloud.
