簡介
本次展覽展出桃園市龍潭區樂齡學習中心「心的立體書——想像力工作坊」課程學員的 16 件作品。以「再生藝術」為主軸，每件作品皆以舊報紙、書刊、雜誌為材料，進行想像力創意拼貼。從作品中，我們可以感受到樂齡學員豐富的創造力與獨特性，具有相當的藝術價值。
首次登上區塊鏈的長者創作展
有別於以往現場展示的形式，這次創作展首次嘗試在環保區塊鏈 Tezos 上舉辦，並以台灣的 AkaSwap 平台為媒介，展出並發行限量 NFT 作品。這個嘗試的核心目標，是建構起樂齡長者與年輕世代之間的溝通與互動橋梁——當阿公阿嬤的作品出現在區塊鏈上，代際之間的對話便自然展開。
學員心聲
樂齡學員暨參展人「想飛」分享：
「旅行豐富了人生，而創作改變了生活。在創作的過程中，不斷的嘗試與修改，充滿了挑戰，如人生的過程因未知而精彩！」
學員們很期待透過本次展覽與大家分享他們精彩的創作故事。非常感謝 FAB DAO 與 akaSwap 支持我們的想法，並挹注資源與協助，讓創作展能夠順利誕生！
關於樂齡學習中心
台灣國人平均退休年齡為 58 歲，平均健康餘命達 73.28 歲（109 年衛福部統計資料），退休後約有 20 年的生活時光。若沒有妥善的退休規劃，缺乏目標的日子將加速身心老化，成為醫療系統沉重的負擔。
在少子化的衝擊下，台灣即將在 2025 年邁入超高齡社會，老年人口比例將達到 20%，社會結構已顯著改變。若想減輕年輕世代的照護壓力，就必須讓每一位長者擁有自己的健康生活圈，減少對子女的依賴——而樂齡學習中心正是扮演這個關鍵角色的場域。
我們也希望透過本次創作展，邀請大家關注與支持樂齡學習中心的教育資源，讓家中的長者願意走出家門，到社區的樂齡中心互助學習、經營自己的生活圈、參與各式活動，從中獲得自我認同與成就感，儲蓄身心的健康存摺，一起讓這個社會更好！

Introduction
This exhibition features 16 works by students from the “Pop-Up Book of the Heart — Imagination Workshop” course at the Longtan District Active Aging Learning Center in Taoyuan City. Centered on the theme of “recycled art,” each piece uses old newspapers, books, and magazines as materials for imaginative collage. The works vividly showcase the rich creativity and individuality of the senior learners, carrying significant artistic value.
Seniors on the Blockchain for the First Time
Unlike traditional in-person exhibitions, this show was hosted for the first time on the eco-friendly Tezos blockchain, using Taiwan’s AkaSwap platform to display and issue limited-edition NFT works. At its heart, the experiment aimed to build a bridge of communication and interaction between senior citizens and younger generations — when grandparents’ artwork appears on the blockchain, intergenerational dialogue begins naturally.
In the Students’ Words
Participant and exhibitor Xiang Fei shared:
“Travel enriches life, and creating art transforms how we live. The creative process is full of constant experimentation and revision, brimming with challenges — just like life itself, made extraordinary by the unknown.”
The senior learners are eager to share their wonderful creative stories through this exhibition. We are deeply grateful to FAB DAO and AkaSwap for supporting our vision and providing resources and assistance to bring this exhibition to life.
About the Active Aging Learning Center
The average retirement age in Taiwan is 58, while the average healthy life expectancy reaches 73.28 years (2020 data from the Ministry of Health and Welfare). This means retirees have roughly 20 years of post-retirement life. Without proper retirement planning, an aimless lifestyle accelerates physical and mental decline, placing an enormous burden on the healthcare system.
Under the impact of declining birth rates, Taiwan is set to become a super-aged society by 2025, with the elderly population reaching 20%. The social structure has already shifted significantly. To lighten the burden on younger generations, we must find ways for every senior to build their own healthy social circle and reduce dependence on their children — and Active Aging Learning Centers play this crucial role.
Through this exhibition, we also hope to invite everyone to support the educational resources of these centers, so that seniors are willing to step out, engage in community-based mutual learning, build their own social circles, participate in activities, gain a sense of identity and accomplishment, and invest in their physical and mental well-being — working together toward a better society for all.
