Pailang Museum of Settler Colonialism (2022-), or, The Pailang Museum, is a Sinophone media collective that commissions speculative writing, screening programs and decolonial guided tours along with experimental film production. The word pailang is Taiwanese-Hokkien pronunciation of “villains” commonly used by Taiwanese indigenous groups to call their settler counterpart: Chinese-Formosan.
While pailang is no longer a pejorative term, the settler colonialism structure has persistent effects, and has largely been embedded in the texture of everyday life. With our aim to experiment with a denaturalized presentation of the settler gaze and its historicity, the Pailang Museum serves as an active platform in narrating a plethora of ways in which settler colonial subjects organize land and, as it were, its species.
「白浪的定居殖民博物館」(2022-)簡稱白浪博物館,為一致力於委任思辨寫作、放映計劃、去殖民導覽,和實驗電影製作的媒體小組。博物館的名稱「白浪」源自台灣原住民族借台語語音「歹人」對台灣漢人定居者的稱呼。儘管白浪在口語中已經成為中性詞彙,定居殖民結構的影響仍延續至今,隱藏在日常生活事物的紋理當中。白浪博物館嘗試揭露「白浪凝視」以及經常被自然化的歷史性關聯,也積極講述定居殖民結構對自然生態及其物種的各種組織方式。
