The starting point of the research project is to encourage artists to look for questions of Bangka in Wanhua regarding issues such as surveying local history and the evolution of society and the environment.  

Bangka is the oldest district of Taipei, so history is the primary concern. Bangka is built on the banks of the Tamsui River and is home to a diverse range of activities: there is textile trading and garment manufacturing, as well as a night market with offerings from ancient traditions, both Chinese and from the island itself. 

With this project, each artist proposed his/her own though to define quality and the way he/she would like to present it. Each artist's work materialized in different media is engaged in critical historiographies of colonialism, contemporary capitalism, and related social imaginaries.

這項研究計劃的出發點是促使藝術家探尋觀於萬華艋岬的問題，涉及像是探究地方歷史以及社會與環境的演變等議題。

艋岬是台北最古老的街區，因此歷史成為本計劃最主要的關切。艋岬建於淡水河岸，在此進行著各式各樣的活動：布料買賣和製衣，還有一座夜市，其中販賣屬於中國以及台灣這座島嶼本身的古老傳統的祭祀用品。

每位透過藝術家透過這項計劃提出這個區域的某種尚未明確界定的特性，以及想予以呈現的方式。以各異的媒材製作的各個藝術家作品處理關鍵性的歷史書寫，它們關乎殖民、當代資本主義以及相關的社會想像。
