TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – The annual cultural festival Nuit Blanche is about to kick off
on Saturday night with an abundance of performances, live concerts, exhibitions, and forums in different parts of the city, inviting urban flâneurs to occupy the streets all night for the sake of arts.
This year, the festival will take place in the southern tip of the capital, stretching from National Taiwan University (NTU) to the Taipower building, and eventually ending at Taipei City Hakka Cultural Park.
With the spirit of “all-night events”, “free for all” and “civic engagement”, the festival aims to transform the city into an open gallery where every citizen is welcomed. Visitors are invited not only to appreciate works of art, but also to interact with artworks, and even to take part in the creation of arts. [FULL STORY]
