No matter the country, traditional clothing has deep ties with history and culture. For some, this clothing is held in such high regard that it has become part of their identity. From the fabrics to the designs, each garment carries a deep meaning and significance for the locals.

ARTISTS IN TAIWAN - A Collection of Artworks by 83 Illustrators and Manga Artists from Taiwan, the Editorial Supervised by pixiv

Thu, 04 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0900

Under the mission to build an exciting space for everybody to enjoy creative activities, pixiv has decided to produce this book to encourage creators around the world to deliver their works beyond the boundaries of region and language, to better connect with one another. Starting with Taiwan, we plan to continue developing this series to introduce worldwide creators.

The challenge two totally different galleries picked up - It's Time to Foster Taiwanese Creators.

Mon, 07 Oct 2019 12:00:00 +0900

What comes to your mind when asked about your country's creations? When thinking of Japan, one could talk about the increasing number of manga and anime on the market, or about how people cram their doujinshi in tiny booths at ComiKet. But what about Taiwan's original content? Many people must not have a clear idea about that, do they?

Well, two famous galleries gave their own interpretation of what is Taiwan's taste lately. These are "d/art", a gallery that exhibits more realistic works and some old-school paintings, and "Mangasick", a definitely more underground-ish gallery. Even at first glance, it is clear that both these exhibitions are strongly willing to foster Taiwanese creators.

Is it because the country needs to find its own identity?

Or is it to because the creative side of this market needs more putting their works out?

Shall we give a closer look at this challenge, in order to separate what Taiwan used to be, and what will be of it from now on?
