Tainan 400 Taiwan Design Expo

Tainan West Market – Exploring Tainan, Revitalizing the Market

Tainan, a city with a rich 400-year history, preserves an abundance of invaluable cultural heritage. The "West Market," once a bustling commercial hub, stands as a testament to Taiwan's historical rise and fall and the evolution of its civilization. Over time, the lively scenes of the market have gradually faded, yet its profound cultural significance remains timeless.

Today, the restored West Market has transformed into a vibrant cultural gathering space, preserving memories of the past while crafting new chapters for the future.

This year, Hermin Textile embraces the concept of "Local Participation, Listening to History, Reviving Culture, and Experiencing Architecture." Through innovative approaches, the company seeks to reinterpret the memories and emotions of the West Market, breathing new life into its historical essence.

Curated by 247 Visual Art, this exhibition delves into " "New Agriculture," "New Biotechnology," and "Energy Resources." It traces the economic and trade history of Tainan, showcasing Taiwan's innovative journey from the spread of civilization to the textile miracle.
