Mr. White Rabbit and Mr. Pigeon have been joining Taipei’s Cultural Passport campaign since October 14th, keeping citizens company while waiting for the bus. Unlike traditional walking tours, this initiative brings design into everyday life, starting with a “culture and creativity journey,” inviting 20 top professionals from various industries to participate. The event includes 18 “themed lectures” combining talks and guided tours, 2 “creative bus stops” with outdoor installations, 2 creative pop-up shops, and a QR code points-collecting coffee exchange activity.

This year marks the first time two creative bus stops have been planned. Designed by artist Zou Junf and the design team “Two Augusts,” both works revolve around the theme “My Ideal Bus Stop,” with both artists drawing inspiration from the phenomenon of phone zombies.

Zou Junf under the theme “Transient Passerby”placed the illustrated character “Mr. Pigeon” at the bus stop near Dinghao Market Station on Section 4 of Zhongxiao East Road. Mr. Pigeon stands alone quietly at the bus stop, waiting for the bus home. But he’s not busy scrolling through his phone, replying to work emails, checking Facebook, chatting with friends on LINE, or using all kinds of entertainment to kill time while waiting. Instead, Mr. Pigeon simply enjoys the moment of waiting.
