KAOHSIUNG, TAIWAN
\n–\u00a0Media OutReach<\/a>\u00a0– 28
\nJanuary 2022 – The streets and night skies of
\nKaohsiung will be bathed in light as the city stages the 2022 Taiwan Lantern
\nFestival, with this year’s event drawing on both tradition and modern
\ninnovation to mesmerise
\nvisitors to the city.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Flying Phoenix lantern will light up Kaohsiung in 2022 Taiwan
\nlantern festival.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The festival, which will run for 28
\ndays from February 1, will for
\nthe first time provide a model for collaboration between artisans who use time-honoured
\nmethods to construct traditional lanterns and cutting-edge artists from around
\nthe world.<\/p>\n

Spread throughout the National
\nKaohsiung Centre for the Arts at Weiwuying and the city’s Love River Bay
\ndistrict, the festival will provide interactive experiences for visitors to
\nlearn about how traditional lantern art can be passed down to modern
\ngenerations at the same time as harnessing advanced exhibition technology, such
\nas high-speed, low-latency 5G for remote artistic displays.<\/p>\n

Historic roots<\/b><\/p>\n

First staged in 1990, the annual
\nlantern festival is inspired by traditional folk celebrations on the fifteenth
\nday of the first month, according to the lunar calendar, and to mark the end of
\nthe Lunar New Year. For centuries, people from China have marked the arrival of the New Year by carrying
\npaper lanterns through their darkened streets, with the designs becoming far
\nmore elaborate and adventurous in recent years.<\/p>\n

This year, Kaohsiung will be aglow with works by artists keen to put
\nforward their own interpretations of light.<\/p>\n

Signature Lantern<\/b><\/p>\n

The event’s signature work is a cross-border collaboration that brings
\ntogether lantern designer Benson Lu and renowned calligrapher Dong Yangzi.
\nTogether, they have created a work that transforms the Chinese character
\n“feng,” which means phoenix, into an illuminated pheasant that is native to
\nTaiwan spreading its wings atop a mountain.<\/p>\n

Lighting up Kaohsiung, the Flying Phoenix lantern will use the
\naesthetics of lighting to communicate the message of effective urban governance,
\nand increase awareness of Kaohsiung City around the world. <\/p>\n

The 2022 Taiwan Lantern Festival<\/b><\/p>\n

The artists and organizers
\nof the festival hope visitors
\nwill be able to put the difficulties of the last year behind them, at least
\ntemporarily, and enjoy an occasion that will be a unique feast for the senses.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
