The Alliance Cultural Foundation:
“Stanley Yen & Friends” invites Sakinu Ahronglong & Yun Dai
|
|
The special guests of the third episode of ACF’s “Stanley Yen & Friends” webinar series was the founder of the Hunter School, Sakinu Ahronglong, and his daughter, Yun Dai, who is a graduate of Junyi School of Innovation. During the interview, Yen expressed how he was impressed by Sakinu, of his non-jus sanguinis redefining the indigenous people’s identity based on cultural characters rather than ancestry. Yun Dai shared how her father’s perspectives of nature was the inspiration for the topic of her graduation thesis on
coexisting with nature.
The audience responded enthusiastically during the Q&A at the end of the webinar. In response to the question of how to promote the “hunter spirit”, Sakinu replied, “People tend to think hunting is about killing, but in fact, hunters have great respect for the environment and life; they have a philosophical view of nature... We are ecological balancers, not predators.”
Integrating the hunter spirit of coexistence with nature into the teachings of the school so that being one with nature, mountain and sea can be in the DNA of our lives has been Sakinu’s mission.

The internationally renowned curator commented, "The combination of environmental, natural and environmental issues articulated in Chiang’s works is unique and successful. He is an abstract painter but he expresses abstract ideas in a ‘figurative’ way."
