野生讀者節 Wild Reader Festival

2024年的野生讀者節由飛地書店與畸零地創造所主辦，地點位於西本願寺，於4月20日至21日舉辦為期兩天的市集。讀者在書店和書業中扮演著靈魂的角色，然而，主辦方深信，現今的時代已不僅僅是讀者的時代，更是作者的時代。

想要表達意見、表現自我的人，比起渴望聆聽故事、聆聽他人的人更為眾多。在這個社交媒體盛行的時代，個人常常需要不斷地表達自己、即時回應，而有時間和空間去聽取、閱讀、思考，反而變得越來越奢侈。

然而，成為一位優秀的讀者，才有可能成為一位優秀的作者。這正是我們在過去兩年裡，透過與許多作者和讀者的交流所得到的最深刻體會。在這裡，“閱讀”並不僅僅指閱讀書籍，而是指“願意暫時放下自我，深入探索他人的世界”，也可以是閱讀街道、音樂、電影、世界。

“野生”代表著一種珍貴的思想狀態，也是一種身處其中難以自覺的狀態。作為一位讀者，能夠自由地思考、探索，沒有外在的政治干擾或社會束縛，也能夠放下內在的偏見和不安全感，這是非常寶貴的。我們希望通過一系列的活動，感謝台灣的土地與包容，讓我們建立起這樣一個可以自由發揮的空間。

野生讀者節，讓我們重新回歸到“讀者”的身份⎯

The Wild Reader Festival 2024 is organized by nowhere bookstore and Ground Zero Creation, taking place at the West Honganji Temple on April 20th to 21st for a two-day market. Readers play a crucial role in both bookstores and the book industry. However, the organizers firmly believe that today's era is not only the age of readers but also the age of authors.There are more people who wish to express opinions and showcase themselves than those who eagerly listen to stories and others. In this era dominated by social media, individuals often find themselves constantly expressing and promptly responding, making it increasingly luxurious to have the time and space for listening, reading, and contemplating.

Nevertheless, becoming an excellent reader is a prerequisite to becoming an excellent author. This is the profound realization we have gained over the past two years through interactions with numerous authors and readers. Here, "reading" doesn't merely refer to reading books but signifies "being willing to temporarily set aside oneself and delve into the world of others", whether it be reading streets, music, films, or the world. "Wild" represents a precious state of mind, one that is difficult to recognize when immersed within it. As readers, the ability to think and explore freely, without external political interference or societal constraints, and to let go of internal biases and insecurities, is incredibly valuable. Through a series of events, we hope to express gratitude to Taiwan's land and inclusivity, allowing us to establish a space where creativity can flourish freely.

The Wild Reader Festival reminds us to re-embrace the identity of "readers"⎯
