Treating the Faceless’ Art Experiences Equally: An Interview with an Independent Researcher Tze-Ning Hong

Written by Yi-Cheng Sun; translated by Yi-Yu Lai. Tze-Ning Hong, an independent researcher, designer, and artist, has been immersed in an artistic environment since childhood and graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at National Taiwan Normal University. Her father, a calligraphy teacher in elementary school, provided her with a unique perspective as she navigated between her family and school life during her childhood.

She has captured and preserved unnoticed and delicate memories regarding art education due to her special position.
