TAIPEI, Oct. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
With the theme of "Resonance Island," 2022 Creative Expo Taiwan (2022 CET)
created a cultural whirlwind over the 10-day exhibition period. The two main
section and six venues of Kaohsiung Action attracted over 500,000 visitors.
Visitors crowded all venues and sales remained high throughout the exhibition
period, as CET combined both physical and virtual channels to simultaneously
drive tourism in surrounding areas and generated an output of over TWD 1
billion, putting the astonishing strengths of Taiwan's cultural and creative
industry in the post-pandemic age on full display!
Lighting Up New Venues to Synergize Taiwan's Cultural Power
For the first time, Creative Expo Taiwan went to the port city of Kaohsiung in
southern Taiwan, where the two main venues, "Kaohsiung Music Center" and
"Kaohsiung Exhibition Center," were linked by the light rail. The Culture
Section that opened first on August 5 at Kaohsiung Music Center immediately
attracted over 100,000 visitors over the first three days. The trade show
featured over 500 exhibitors from 14 countries around the world.
Moreover, the 10-day expo also organized nearly 200 activities, including
forums and seminars, and Kaohsiung City Government also launched exciting
activities of Kaohsiung Action, including releasing six historical spaces,
planning 30 Design Tours, and exhibiting installations of six popular LINE
sticker IPs by local illustrators of Kaohsiung at Love River Bay, to trigger
buzz and attention through popular attractions, displaying robust cultural and
creative energy.
Interdisciplinary Curatorial Team Resonated to Create the Island's Cultural
Landscape
This year, architect/veteran curator Kung Shu-chang served as the chief
curatorial consultant, and Luxury Logico co-founder Lin Kun-yin served as the
chief curator, joining all curators to plan theme pavilions "Round-Island
Arena," "Hotel Archipelago," and "Formosa Ice Shop," and two city pavilions
"Chiayi" and "Matsu," as well as the "Craft" pavilion. The trade show was
curated by Yin Li and presents theme curatorial area "Formosa Select Shop" that
featured the spotlight products of this year's expo. Through the cooperation of
diverse disciplines, including curation, design, video, performing art,
technology-based installation, craft, food, beverages, and editing, the expo
guided audience to see the cultural vitality of the island.
New Business Opportunities Simultaneously Created via Online/Offline Channels
for Unprecedented Sales at the Creative Section
The trade show at Kaohsiung Exhibition Center gathered the Creative and
Licensing sections in one place for the first time. The show attracted
unprecedented number of visitors and business and received rave responses from
visiting citizens.
Furthermore, Ministry of Culture also cooperated with Pinkoi, Asia's biggest
design e-commerce platform, to launch the "2022 CET" section, as well as an
all-new online business platform "CET+," to showcase over 8,000 products
participating in the expo. Through online/offline integration, new
opportunities were explored for Taiwan's cultural and creative brands. By
combining innovative strategy with the joint effort of curators and
participants, 2022 Creative Expo Taiwan once again achieved outstanding
results. In the future, CET will continue to build on this foundation and carry
out interdisciplinary integration, so that in addition to becoming the
strongest support behind local brands, it will also create a more magnificent
cultural landscape.
