In 2020, the Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica, collaborated with the Kaviyangan community of Taiwu Township, Pingtung County, to create the exhibition "Calling the Kaviyangan's Art and Culture: Back to Kaviyangan". In 2022, the Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica, collaborated with the Fata'an community of Guangfu Township, Hualien County, to create the exhibition "Heart to Fata'an". Both exhibitions were limited-time, in-situ collaborations with the communities. In 2023, the Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica, continued to collaborate with the two communities in a "digital collaboration". Through the Open Museum platform, they jointly documented the two exhibitions, and also presented the relevant and voluminous document archives, so that the stories of the two collaborations could be passed down.
