YUMA TARU

Yuma Taru is the preserver of important traditional art and cultural asset preservation technology issued by the Ministry of Culture in 2016. She is the youngest craftsman among the living national treasures in Taiwan. It took her 10 years to visit more than 100 tribes for field research, and another 10 years to find materials in libraries in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom to retrieve lost craftsmanship, and another 10 years to carry out systematic classification and inheritance records. Yuma planted hope in the dyeing and weaving techniques of the aborigines, from the promotion of national traditional fiber planting and revival of weaving, to the analysis, research and reproduction of museum fabrics, to the development of national education.

In recent years, she has actively combined contemporary issues and elements in the creation of fiber art. Her fabric creation is full of natural and gentle feelings and imagination, opening the largest window for the development of traditional crafts of aboriginal peoples, and paving the farthest road for future youth. The skills are passed on, hoping that the people of the clan can build self-confidence from their own culture.
