轉角幸福科技島IIEP1008 - 卡門式勇氣28 - 一面牆開始的長跑，張洛君讓公益有了可被看見的樣子 ft.張洛君 Zoy日安，2026
「一面牆開始的長跑，張洛君讓公益有了可被看見的樣子」
走進展場，你絕對找得到張洛君。
他像一個不停轉身的「現場支點」，前台有人要導覽、後台有人要搬箱、藝術家想確認掛畫順序、社福單位正在佈置手作區，得標作品的打包流程。每一個呼喚都指向同一個名字，而他永遠在前往的路上。
「很多人以為這種活動就是名人站台、拍照、結束。」他笑著說。但你看他眼神裡的焦距不是鏡頭，是細節。這份「把每一個人都放進來」的心思，讓他的公益不只是一場事件，而是很長的一段時間。
七年，不靠口號：把公益做成「可持續的現場」
張洛君發起並策展的「Care in & Change out」公益特展，走到第七屆，從最早「一面牆」的構想出發。用小尺寸畫布排出愛心，讓觀眾在視覺上先被吸引、在情感上願意靠近，一路發展至今，參與者已超過 85 位名人與藝術家。
更關鍵的，這不是每年換一批人「打卡式加入」。他提到，從第一屆一路參與至今的夥伴仍占相當比例。活動得以延續，靠的不是一次性的熱度，而是長期的信任。
「要讓一個公益行動能走七年，最難的不是辦一場展覽，是每一年都重新把心放回來。」一位參與多屆的創作者私下說，張洛君的特點在於他不把你當來賓，他把你當一起扛責任的夥伴。
不碰錢，是他對公益最固執的自我要求
在公益領域，透明要落實往往是最困難的。張洛君在訪談中一再強調，他不讓捐款、義賣款項「經手」自己，所有款項交由具公信力的 NGO／基金會直接處理；展覽所需的場地、佈展、運送、製作等成本，則由他與合作單位吸收與張羅，盡量讓捐款回到「受助端」。
這種做法，在現場便看得見代價：搬運與物流幾乎是一趟趟的體力活，許多公仔、作品、桌椅設備，都是他親自開車載運，最後還要協調打包、交件、運送流程。
他說：「只要碰到錢，公益就會變得很麻煩。那我寧可麻煩在自己身上，不要麻煩在信任上。」這是原則，實際上也是一種界線。他用最笨的方法保護活動的清白，用最累的方式換取社會的放心。
他把名人效應當入口，把藝術當主菜，把社福放在正中央
很多公益展最容易落入「看熱鬧」，名人作品吸睛、拍照打卡、走完一圈結束。
但張洛君的策展思路反其道而行，他刻意把展覽設計成一段「進階式的旅程」：
1. 先被公仔與名人吸引（入口）
2. 再走向社福區，聽見真實需求（公益的理由）
3. 最後進入藝術家個展與創作脈絡（美感的扎根）
他認為，公仔很可愛、很熱鬧，但那只是敲門磚；真正能讓一個人把「公益」留在心裡的，是你願意記住每一個創作者、理解每一個社福單位、願意把美感帶回生活。
因此，在展場裡常見一幕：藝術家不是被掛在牆上就結束，而是被邀請到現場，親自和觀眾互動、解說作品。張洛君像巡迴導覽的主持人，努力把觀眾的「無感」變成「有記憶」。
他對策展成敗的衡量標準很簡單：
「你離開前，至少記住一位藝術家，或至少知道一個社福單位在做什麼，那我就成功了。」
公益的本質不是「一次幫很多」，而是「一直在旁邊」
張洛君談起他長期合作的公益系統時，提到多年來協助的社福單位累計達數百（他口述累積約 440 個單位），每年支持規模亦相當可觀。這些數字背後，他最在意的卻不是規模，而是他在 NGO 學到的一件事：
「陪伴」才是公益真正的力量。
他甚至將下一步構想從「展覽」延伸到「空間美感」：不再去碰觸爭議性的議題（例如美化違建），而是把心力用在曾被支持的社福單位上。帶著藝術家與名人走進家扶中心、社福場館，幫他們整理空間、打造更舒服的環境，讓孩子與機構留下「有人來過、一起做過」的記憶。
他說：
「名人來一天，孩子可以炫耀一輩子。但更重要的，是那一天他感覺到自己被放在心上。」
從「我還有用處」開始，他把人生第二幕活的更精彩
張洛君出道時間很長，外界仍常用早年的角色記憶叫他。被誤認很年輕、談事時被當成「小朋友」，他說這其實是一種痛苦。但他也把這種情緒轉化成另一種動力，不靠頭銜，不靠標籤，靠長期、扎實、透明地做公益，讓人重新認識他。
把公益從「一年一次的事件」，變成「生活裡可被看見的習慣」。
他用名人與作品把人潮引進來，卻把真正的主角留給社福與藝術家；他可以選擇站在鎂光燈下，卻更常站在搬運、導覽、協調與收尾的縫隙裡。把每一個人都安放好，讓愛不只是說出口，更是用行動被完成。
因為公益真正改變世界的方式，往往不是驚天動地，而是有人願意在你看不見的地方，一次又一次，站在旁邊。
期待今年底的展覽

However, the wars in the Middle East that led to the refugee crisis coincided with the collapse of the Greek economy during the financial crisis, impoverishing many many Greeks.

The Happiness Diary Podcast with Simon NgoThe 5 Things People Don't Know About Me (Part 1)The very first fact that people don't know is that I was actually once depressed, especially during my high school and university years. Mostly, it was "weekend depression" hence I hid behind being go-getter because moving, working, hustling is the only way I know how to cope with my life but it was all just an escape, a bandaid solution.
