TAIWANIT: Taiwanese Identity Unfurled is a participatory art experience that intricately weaves together the multi-faceted narratives of Taiwan's national identity. The project unfolds an intimate celebration of Taiwan's unique cultural fabric while fortifying its global recognition. This revolutionary blend of tactile fabric artistry and physical expressions coalesce into a powerful tableau of collective Taiwanese identity, echoing freedom, resilience, innovation, diversity, and individual narratives.

Harnessing the symbolic strength of fabric, TAIWANIT extends an invitation to individuals to interweave their personal experiences into the vibrant tapestry of Taiwanese identity. As stories about Taiwan are exchanged, new individual narratives take shape, transcending language barriers through the universal medium of movement and non-verbal communication. TAIWANIT is an exploration that navigates the complex terrains of identity and belonging, while exalting Taiwan's cultural legacy on the international stage.

At its heart, TAIWANIT aspires to ignite a profound sense of connection and community. By inviting participation in the weaving of a collective vision, this initiative fortifies Taiwan's societal fabric, enhancing its strength and fortitude. In response to external challenges, it presents a united, vibrant tapestry of national identity – a tribute to Taiwan's enduring spirit.

Silent Rhapsody: Navigating Identity Along Naviglio Grande

Milan's tranquil Naviglio Grande canal sets a serene stage for a vibrant depiction of Taiwan's identity. Here, fluidity meets the static, as dynamic motions mirror Taiwan's cultural diversity. The kaleidoscope of colours and patterns on the fabric is more than mere decoration – it narrates a tapestry of tales, each a thread in the intricate weave of Taiwan's multifaceted identity.

Chromatic Symphony: A Palette of Taiwanese Freedom

A tableau of Taiwanese street elements forms a striking pattern, symbolising the unity of diverse voices rallying for freedom. Dark blues and reds, echoes of Taiwan's flag, bare historical testament while heralding a fresh identity. Interwoven are hues of green and blue—signatures of the major political factions—yet subtly transformed, inviting dialogue beyond partisan divides. This chromatic symphony celebrates Taiwan's cultural complexity and signals a commitment to progressive transformation.

Each cocoon, emblazoned with the four pillars of Taiwanese identity—freedom, resilience, innovation, diversity—tells a story. Through expressive body language, they silently articulate their interpretations of Taiwan's national identity, each gesture adding a thread to the complex tapestry of their shared heritage.
