Anchi Lin: Indigenous Taiwan artist 

BBC World Service - In the Studio, Anchi Lin: Indigenous Taiwan artist

Celebrating the ancestral art of storytelling through her work

Inspired by a story told to her by an Indigenous elder, Taipei-based artist Anchi Lin, also known by her Atayal name Ciwas Tahos, is working on a new multi-media installation.    
  
Anchi has dedicated her research and creative work to exploring the Indigenous space of Temahahoi, a place where queer, gender non-conforming people lived and could communicate with bees, who were also their protection from approaching intruders.     
 
Combining new technology, handmade ceramics and traditional bee chasing skills,  Anchi Lin celebrates her Indigenous culture and identity in her work.  
  
Anchi Lin talks in her studio to Lucy Collingwood, as she works on the performance elements of her video installation. Then from a forest deep in the Taiwan countryside, we follow Anchi as she learns the art of wild bee chasing from an Indigenous elder.    
  
Lucy then joins Anchi Lin as she sets up her exhibition in Switzerland, including gathering stones on the shores of Lake Zurich,  to stack as the final part of the installation.
