在公共空間散步,聽故事、遛氣球。外籍移工錄音自述她們在雇主家中照顧狗狗貓貓的經驗,儘管在臺灣法規中,照顧寵物並不屬於家庭看護工的工作範圍。點點滴滴的訴說,映照出勞動環境的現實,也有異地工作的心情。
午後陽光微斜,眼前是豪宅、國宅、熙來攘往的假日玉市與花市;耳機裡,12則真實的語音故事緩緩展開。無須預約,要待多久全由自己決定。邀請你一起來聆聽那些長時間存在,卻很少被聽見的日常。

Walking through Her Everyday Life ─ Stories Told by Migrant Workers Who Walk Their Boss’s Dogs
Walk through Her Everyday Life: Stories Told by Migrant Workers Who Walk Their Boss’s Dogs is an immersive audio walking experience held in public spaces. We’ve invited migrant domestic workers in Taiwan to record and share their experiences of caring for their employers’ pets—even though, by regulation, pet care actually falls outside the legal scope of work for domestic caregivers.
Some are afraid of dogs yet must take them out every day; others project the longing they feel for their own children onto the animals in front of them. These fragments of storytelling reflect both the reality of their labor environment and the complex emotions of working in a foreign land.
Participants will put on headphones and wander freely through the city at night, listening to these authentic stories while holding a "strange" balloon. This simple, everyday object carries floating aspirations and the quiet resilience of life.
No reservation is required; how long you stay is entirely up to you. We invite you to join us on these familiar streets to listen to the everyday lives that have long existed, yet are seldom heard.
How to Participate
● Present ID anytime within the announced event hours to borrow equipment for free participation.
● Audio stories vary in length, each around 15 minutes or less; select and listen freely based on your time.
● Equipment will be provided on a first-come-first-serve basis. Please wait patiently if all are in use.
● Recommended for ages 12+; children must be accompanied by an adult.
● No designated route for the walk-listen experience; please prioritize personal safety.
