Organizers Prepare for a New Journey
2009 marks a significant milestone for the organizers of TAIWANfest. We will be celebrating its 20th year in Vancouver and its 4th year in Toronto. Years of transformation, multitude of artists' creations and thousands of volunteer hours have shaped TAIWANfest into what it is today.
Continuing the direction of fusion‐focused artistic expression from past festivals, this year we will be exploring the evolution of the marriage concept from the multicultural and cross-generational perspectives on tradition, value and ideology. The theme — "A New Journey" — comes from the idea that a festival, like a marriage, builds around the stories of affection and gathering of differences; all attributes of a successful journey.
Embracing this concept through performing, visual and culinary arts, TAIWANfest will be presenting a line-up of must-see programs as well as extending its films and exhibitions beyond the traditional three day festival. In addition to all the flavourful programming, events will be featured that will make music and fashion aficionados' mouths water.
It will surely be one of the most beautiful and unique festivals to look forward to this summer. Be ready to embark on a new journey with TAIWANfest.
Stay tuned as programming will be announced in coming months.
