In the Year of the Dragon, everyone is Born to be Free!
Do cultural symbols represent identity or the limits of it? Is it a reflection on our civilization, or a search for a sense of belonging? Do we only want to tell the stories of the past, or do we hope to create stories for the future?
Traditionally, the dragon symbolizes authority and nobility. After being passed down from generation to generation, what is the essence of the dragon’s spirit? The powerful beast as we know it has become symbols that people take pride in, from warding evil to maintaining balance. Under the shadow of the preconceived dragon, do we feel truly free?
If dragons really exist, if they can really guide our future, if they can represent a community standing strong, if they can give people a sense of belonging… then perhaps the most meaningful way to welcome the Year of the Dragon is for everyone to reimagine that free-flying dragon, soaring through a world where everyone can truly be themselves.
Explore “Island Tribute”, a stunning weaving exhibition that brings tradition and modern creativity together, sharing the innovation and beauty of Taiwan’s local craft culture. From 11am-4pm, enjoy a variety of activities suitable for all ages.
Every weekend starting Feb 10, celebrate the Year of the Dragon with LunarFest!
