Home Town Taiwan is an online exhibition highlighting the work of 33 Taiwanese illustrators and focusing on the idea of "home." Curated by renowned children's illustrator Page Tsou, the exhibition conveys the amazing power of illustrations to comfort and connect human hearts across borders.
The exhibition is divided into two parts. "Hometown Taiwan" showcases 59 works by 10 different Taiwanese illustrators who are inspired by their lives in Taiwan. The style and subject each artist adopted are different, presenting various sides and impressions of Taiwan, and allowing people from around the world to try a taste of Taiwan's charm and distinctive scenery without the need to travel.
The second part of the exhibition, "Messages from Taiwan," explores greetings from faraway places through the creation of original postcards. The illustrations are more than just private messages between friends; they are the messages that Taiwanese artists would like to send to the world.
Through a variety of styles and perspectives, Home Town Taiwan welcomes visitors to explore Taiwan from a distance and crosses language barriers to share a common understanding of home.
