地方的記憶是一面草根為床的魔氈
Memory of a place is a grassroots-matted Magic Carpet
　
本書以中文英文雙語展開魔氈飛行之旅。
　
妙想氈開的廣東話發音，
接近妙想天開。
　
魔氈從故事的源頭起飛，
透過地方探索和影像觸媒，
飛過不同城市領空，
吸納草根萌發的聲音，
然後在最不經意的鄰里角落降落，
開展一場接一場的映演分享。
　
但魔氈不是天馬行空，
接地氣的妙想才能讓城市的天穹開啟。
　
規畫田野的耕耘
催生了社區行動的實踐。
　
無論社區中的行動，
或行動中的社區，
在都市再生的輪迴，
妙想氈開的起降，
總朝向一個社區共利的未來。
　
Magic Carpet takes off from the beginning of stories, flying across the skies of different cities and absorbing the voices of the grassroots via the exploration of places and the catalysis of filming, then lands at the most unexpected neighborhood corners to unfold screening events of community sharing one after another.
　
But Magic Carpet is not a purely whimsical or unconstrained fantasy, and only when the imaginations touch the ground can the ceiling of the city open up.
　
The cultivations of the planning fields activate the practices of community actions – whether actions in communities or communities in action – and, in the continuous reincarnation of urban regeneration, the ascending and descending of Magic Carpet always glide towards a future of community benefit.
