十年 红·涩·染 Nī Siàp

看见十八丁所做的不只是技艺的复兴， 更是修补失落的连结，串起过去与现在， 找回身份，重新想象未来。

谢谢可欣在这篇专题撰写里 #看见十八丁 的努力，并给予肯定。我诚心特别感谢她在2016年因博士论文，发掘 #NiSiap 的祖辈故事，然后用一年时间进行采集、田调研究、走进老港培智华小、带十八丁亲子体验 #红树皮自然染涩 工作坊。当时，恬盈尚是初学者小助理。

今天的规模和发展，可欣的起心动念是我们的启蒙者之一。

Yin reflects that the “generations before were so much more environmentally friendly. They knew how to use what was around them. I want to revive that—slowly. It should happen naturally, not forced.”

A decade of Ni Siap under the care of Look Port Weld,what was done was more than the revival of dye. It is about mending broken links and bridging the past with the present. It is reclaiming identity and reimagining the future
