● Chingmay Fan Te Hsi – Green Light Project
Fan Te Hsi Micro-Creative Culture has created the Green Light Project street in Zhongxing First Lane, continuing the brand’s four core themes: “Green Awakening,” “Memory Continuation,” “Creative Passion,” and “Dream Amplification.” They transformed 12 old dormitories formerly belonging to the Taipei Water Department into spaces for artistic and cultural performances. These venues now house a variety of small independent shops, cafes, and handmade food outlets. This burst of creativity has breathed new life into what were once abandoned dormitory buildings, adding a more human touch. Here, visitors can browse unique handmade goods, find quietude on the rooftop maps amidst the city, or simply enjoy a coffee while soaking in the memory of the city within these aged bricks and tiles. Time may seem still in these old buildings, but if you look closely, you’ll discover something fresh in every corner of this community.

● Taiwan Flying Sheep Greet the New Year
Taipei 101 is hosting the public art exhibition “Taiwan Flying Sheep Greet the New Year” from now until March 8. Ten brands were invited to collaborate in its creation, and three emerging Taiwanese designers were commissioned to design a total of 101 sheep. Each uniquely placed around the Taipei 101 complex, these sheep are accompanied by large-scale lighting installations that dress up the building and create a warm, festive atmosphere, ushering in a refreshing new year vibe for the public.
