遠行次數的減少、駐村型式的轉變、臉上五官的遮蔽，都在在的影響了日常的生活，也直接影響到藝術家在全球化之下頻繁遷徙的機會。改變駐村型式或是延後駐村時程成為了進駐的另一種選擇；藝術進駐單位和創作者在這些無法預期的狀況下，為了能延續單位持續地在提供民眾和藝術創作者的服務以及藝術創作者的能量，逐漸發展出各式不同的生存方式。即便如此，在後疫情時代中所演化出來的新常態，仍可看出進駐單位和藝術創作者在困境下的韌性，本次的「As We Know」邀請了在變動時代下的進駐單位領導者、藝術創作者、藝術行政…等多面向的講者來跟大家分享，在意料之外的生存之道。

In coping with the pandemic, we cover our faces, make less trips, and adapt to different forms of artist-in-residence. As our daily routines undergo drastic changes, artists also see their opportunities to travel the world diminish. Residency programs are either forced to change form or be postponed. Various arrangements are made so art organizations can continue to serve the public and artists. Facing the “new normal” in a post-COVID world, artists and organizations also demonstrate their resilience and flexibility. AS WE KNOW has invited leaders of artist-in-residence programs, art workers and administrators to share their “survival stories” in this very time.
