9月15日至10月15日是「拉美裔傳統月」!本月份我們慶祝拉美裔美國人的文化及貢獻。今天我們邀請到AIT@40活動策劃人Crystal,跟我們分享身為墨西哥裔美國人的傳統和價值觀:
「我的祖先來自墨西哥,但我和表姊妹都於1986年出生於美國德州;我們從小在牧場上長大,身邊圍繞者祖父母和家人的愛與支持。我們的父母非常重視墨西哥的價值觀和文化,因此讓我們從小學習芭蕾舞、踢踏舞、爵士樂和各種才藝課,並鼓勵我們在拉美裔傳統月時,在德州南部的嘉年華、公立學校和養老院表演「墨西哥民俗芭蕾舞」,這種舞蹈是傳統墨西哥舞的統稱,透過芭蕾舞的特色(尖頭鞋、誇大的舞步及精準的舞碼)來呈現墨西哥民族文化。
我的父母在舞蹈和人生中灌輸了我們很好的理念:「達成我們設下的目標、永不放棄堅定的基督教信仰,並尊重年長者及地球。」
他們也教導我們要對人和善、擁抱失敗並重新站起來,並追求能帶來成功及快樂的教育。
由於我的家庭和文化的影響,我目前在美國在台協會工作,而我的表姊妹則是當老師和護士。三個姊妹加起來共有9個小孩,我們會將同樣的傳統傳承給下一代。」#NationalHispanicHeritageMonth
September 15 to October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month, which celebrates the contributions and culture of Americans of Hispanic heritage. As part of our continuing series, AIT’s own Crystal offers her perspective on how growing up with strong Mexican-American heritage and values led her to become AIT’s @40 Campaign Coordinator.
Though our roots trace back to Mexico, my all-American cousins and I were born in Texas in the summer of 1986. Because of our parent’s’ strong Mexican values and culture, my cousins and I grew up on a ranch with the loving support of family, including my Abuela and Abuelo (Grandma & Grandpa). In addition to ballet, tap, jazz and other extracurriculars, my cousins and I grew up celebrating ‘Hispanic Heritage Month’ by performing ”Baile Folklórico” at festivals, public schools and nursing homes throughout South Texas. “Baile folklórico”, (literally meaning "folkloric dance”) is a collective term for traditional Mexican dances that emphasize local folk culture through ballet characteristics - pointed toes, exaggerated movements, and precise choreography.
Both through dance and in life my parents instilled in me their ideals: to achieve whatever goal I set, to never let go of my strong Christian faith, and to respect the elderly and our planet.
My parents and grandparents showed me that kindness always matters and to embrace failure when encountering it before getting right back up again. One of their most significant and on-going life lessons was to pursue an education that would not only bring me success, but most importantly, happiness.
Because of the influence of my family and culture, I now work for the American Institute in Taiwan, while one of my cousins works as a teacher and the other as a nurse. With nine children among the three of us, we will pass on the same traditions that have guided our families to the next generation and beyond.”

exaggerated meaning 在 Simon Chang 張 雍 Facebook 的最讚貼文
| 透過拍照更瞭解彼此 |
這些照片都是他誠實的觀察,「你們要怎麼想,我沒有辦法強迫你」張雍說。攝影是他眼睛的延伸,像在先前他拍家人的作品《雙數》和《第二個童年》中,可以看見他的專注。攝影像是「在理解別人的故事中,來認識你自己。」他說,街頭攝影是最準的,看到菜市場、腳會停下來,會轉頭,故事在哪裡,如何被嗅到,那些是最直接的反應。他說「我過我的生活,跟我想見面的人見面、當人的丈夫,當爸爸,攝影師只是我很多身份的其中一個身份,就那麼簡單,攝影師不用無限上綱。」
他的作品裡頭,感情都是直接了當的,「我寧願讓攝影畫面自己說故事。」他說,不需要一篇很長的論述,而是讓作品直接與觀者對話。他也不是那種計畫性的攝影師,他說:「如果有計畫的話,那不會是攝影,而是計畫生活,對我來說,攝影不是創作。」因為他認為攝影能夠有大方向,但在生活中要保有彈性。攝影更像是拿一個遙控器,說著「暫停,讓我再看一次」,然後再做事後的整理。和大多數的攝影師一樣,張雍專注於眼睛所看到的畫面,但他的照片時常伴隨著文字,但並不是如圖說一般的,詳細敘述這張照片。張雍以波蘭導演奇士勞斯基(Krzysztof Kieslowski)的作品為例,提到他作品的空靈感與音樂有關。他也覺得攝影散文集裡頭的文字有一種節奏感,是一種聲音,「文字像是音樂,是我覺得舒服的韻腳,噠噠噠、嗒嗒嗒嗒。文字是旁白,是一個層次、一個畫外音、一個敘事。」
These photos reflect the truth as Chang sees it, because as he says, “I cannot forcefully change the way you think.” Photography is Chang’s eyes. He photographs his family and its importance to him is demonstrated in his previous works MIDVA and Childhood Once More. Photography is like getting to know yourself through learning about other people’s stories. Street photography is the most accurate example—you stop by the traditional market, look around, use your name; there’s a story there—how do you smell it out?— that is your most immediate reaction. According to Chang, “I live my life and meet with people I’d like to meet. I am a husband and a father, and being a photographer is only one of my many identities. It’s just that simple; the role of a photographer does not need to be exaggerated out of proportion.” The emotional content in Chang’s work is fairly straightforward, and he would rather let photography do the story-telling. His work does not require lengthy explanations, as the images can directly communicate their meaning.
Chang is not the type of photographer who plans everything out, either. If he were to do so, “I would plan out my life and not my photography.” As Chang says, “Photography is not a creation to me.” He thinks it cannot be planned, but you can get the big picture by being flexible and trying to keep up. Photography is more like holding a remote controller, saying “pause, let me see that again,” and doing post-hoc sorting. Chang focuses on what he sees with his own eyes. His photos are often accompanied by captions, but they are not the type that typically gives an account of all the details regarding the photo. He points out that the sense of ethereality in Polish Director Krzysztof Kieslowski’s works is related to music. He believes that captions to photographs likewise should be imbued with rhythm and sound. He comments, “I love writing that has the metric flow of music or poetry; da-da-da, ta-ta-ta-ta. A caption should serve as a voice-over, a different level, an off-screen voice, a narration.”
