Ciwas Tahos

Ciwas Tahos (also known as Anchi Lin 林安琪) is a visual artist of Atayal descent from Taiwan. Working across performance, moving image, cyberspace, ceramics, and kinetic installation, her body-centred practice interweaves Atayal worldviews to claim self-determined space and presence.

Ciwas holds an MFA in New Media Art from Taipei National University of the Arts (Taiwan) and a BFA in Visual Art from Simon Fraser University (Canada). Her work explores cultural and gender identity, using the body as a vessel to trace linguistic and cultural experiences of displacement—opening pathways toward new ways of understanding, remembering, and relating.
