今天下午剛結束了,活動非常順利也很豐富,TIWA的吳靜如以精采的投影片方式,帶領大家探討移駐勞工在台灣、媒體、階層的許多問題,最後帶回活動主題攝影展的學習與拍攝過程。
其實在講座過程中,有好幾度濕了眼眶,並有很大的感觸。就如靜如說的,大家透過這樣的展覽認知了移工的問題,大多數的人認同並帶有同情的心態。但是最後討論到(完整的人)的問題,一個移駐移工或是精神病患或是存在社會的許多邊緣人,我們除了同情以外,是否可以以正常的人的角度去面對他,把他當做跟你我一般正常人來看待。這問題突然觸動了我,我一直問自己可以做到嗎?

Voyage, means a period of trip to anywhere. 15840, it is the minimum wage for workers in Taiwan. However, for migrant workers in Taiwan, it means the “maximum”. By naming Voyage 15840,
TIWA (Taiwan International Workers’ Association) gathered all the photo works from 19 migrant workers in Taiwan. They published the photo book to voice out what migrant worker saw while working in Taiwan, the humanity, and the society.
On June 3, all migrant workers gathered to celebrate. By announcing the first photo book published, there were also some dances and other activities volunteered from other groups. In addition, all the 19 photographers staged on to give a short talk for their excitement and deep gratitude. Grace, who previously had basic trainings in art in her home town the Philippines, indicated that she is very happy to express her true feelings to others via those photo works. Another photographer, Gonzalez was first amazed at himself as the only male who had attended and said, “Photography is great! I want to show my works to all my family and friends when I am back to my home town!”

Voyage,旅程;15840,是台灣法定的最低工資,但大多數離鄉背井的移工們,卻常常是多方扣款下的「最高工資」。以這場15840的旅程為名,
台灣國際勞工協會(TIWA)集結19位移工的攝影作品,出版了這本攝影集,讓以往缺乏發聲管道的移工們,透過鏡頭詮釋自己所見的台灣社會。
6月3日的發表會上,除了各團體友情贊助的歌舞表演外,移工攝影師們也一個個上台發表感言。在家鄉已有藝術基礎的Grace說,她很高興有機會向他 人表達自己的感受;身為唯一男性的Gonzalez,先納悶喜歡攝影的男性怎麼那麼少,接著充滿驕傲的說:「攝影很棒!回家鄉後我也會把這本書拿給我的家 人和朋友看!」

Dear friends,
We have decided to postpone “Voyage 15840 – Migrant Worker Photography Exhibition” until
June 3rd, in order to have more time to prepare a more comprehensive, more elaborate photo album to be presented that day. We apologize for this delay. However, we believe that these migrant artists indeed deserve our extra time and labor.
