New Taipei City maintains a fresh perspective, embracing renewal, connection, and innovation.
New Taipei City is an inclusive city with diverse cultures and a rich natural environment. Various ethnic groups migrate, settle, and take root here, gradually forming industrial clusters and cultural landscapes in different districts. Generation after generation, the people of New Taipei City seize the shared, vibrant passion of the present. They move from confrontation to inclusivity, from collaboration to recognition, embracing the enlightened power of experience. They constantly stimulate innovation through differences, seeking to experience the precious and elusive essence of harmony. Together, they envision a better future.
"New Art Land" exemplifies continuous construction along the Sanxia-Yingge Old Street. It witnesses the new evolution of the city, starting from the old town of Yingge, entering the Ceramic Museum representing industrial aesthetics, and welcoming the participation of everyone in the contemporary art museum. It embodies the fusion of the old and the new, where we feel the evolving vitality of life. Recognizing the value of diversity step by step, New Art Land becomes an attitude. We live in a realm full of possibilities and believe in the coexistence and future of people coming together.
During festivals, we call upon creators living in New Taipei City to engage in interdisciplinary creations. The theme of landscape installations involves a dialogue encompassing "change, collaboration, and belief," showcasing a compatibility that extends beyond mere abrupt innovation. It expresses differences and merges them into unity, a profound and personal experience of external conflicts and resolutions. It is a shared interpretation and coexistence in real-time, where performance becomes a ritual of celebration, commemoration, declaration, and defense, symbolizing renewal. As the opening drums resound, the power of people reverberates through the land. Collaboration gathers everyone together, and the notes dance between heaven and earth, embodying the ongoing momentum and hope, resonating with the energy of all. Together, we shout for the New Art Land.
The 2023 New Taipei City Arts Festival brings together people in the New Art Land to witness the interdisciplinary consensus that arises. Embracing the old while welcoming the new, celebrating the present, and observing the changes that are taking place.
