MoCA Taipei launched a Museum-School Collaboration Project with the Jian Cheng Junior High School in 2007, and this year marks its 17th anniversary. The performing art group Les Petites Choses Production and fiber artist Tzu-Fen Lin were invited in early 2024 to work with the school’s art teachers. Together, they guided the school’s 9th graders to explore and use their bodies to illustrate their surroundings. They documented their everyday feelings by observing the spaces around them and expressing them with their bodies. They imagined creatures that dwell on the margins in inconspicuous places and used recycled materials creatively to portray them. This collaboration inspired the students to reflect further and express the relationship between themselves and their environment through various art forms.

Les Petites Choses Production is a performing arts cooperative composed of 17 creators, dedicated to reinventing and creating value in contemporary arts and cultural experience education. Through open and participatory art practices, the troupe continuously experiments with unconventional cultural and performance spaces. In collaboration with civil society, they aim to establish more sustainable support networks for the arts. In 2024, Les Petites Choses Production was selected as one of the "TAIWAN TOP" performing arts groups and as a representative performing group for the Taiwan Pavilion at the Paris Cultural Olympiad (Olympiade Culturelle).
