Illuminate the Night: Connecting the World through Art at Taipei’s Luminous Garden

A Unique Artistic Experience in Taipei

Taipei will soon be illuminated by a remarkable collaborative experience, as NAKED, INC. is set to exhibit the "DANDELION PROJECT" from January 31 to June 30, 2026, at the Luminous Garden in the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. This immersive outdoor art installation aims to unite people through a shared message of peace, resonating deeply within the historical context of the venue itself.

Embracing the Night with Art

The Luminous Garden is an innovative outdoor exhibition that transforms the night in Taipei by integrating art with its vibrant cultural backdrop. Being situated within a site that boasts 87 years of industrial legacy, this event seeks to modernize the space, making it a hub for evening cultural activities. The infusion of light and artistry into this historic structure will create an enchanting atmosphere, inviting visitors to engage with the blended past and present of the area.

The Symbolism of the Dandelion

At the heart of the exhibition lies the interactive "DANDELION PROJECT." This project offers attendees the chance to express their hopes for peace by adding their thoughts to a dandelion art installation. As these sentiments are transformed into digital dandelion seeds, they will be disseminated across the world, bridging geographical and linguistic divides. This act of connection through creativity not only enhances the beauty of Taipei's nights but also embodies a poignant message of unity and warmth.
