臺東對許多人而言，帶有一股自然的生活況味，座落在遙遠的一隅，卻蘊含著強大的能量。豐沛的自然資源，多元的民族色彩，造就了其鮮明而神秘的形象。在現代化發展的同時，保有在地風格成為過程中的一大挑戰，卻也吸引著充沛的能量進駐，為新舊融合的改變努力著。
展覽透過在地田野的踏尋，挖掘默默耕耘的地方職人，體驗山與海的純淨與美好，感受藝術與文化的能量，並盤點近年臺東的轉變與展望，呈現出深藏於臺東的魅力與活力。
Taitung may be marginalized geographically, but it is certainly powerful with natural resources and ethnic diversity. Modern and traditional forces continue to collide, coincide, and change here.
Through field surveys, we identified craftsmen that sourced energy from nature, and translated into arts and culture. From the past, present, to prospects, the exhibition unveiled the best-kept secrets in Taitung.
