Yuguang scenery inspires art festivalStaff writer, with CNAWorks inspired by Yuguang Island’s (漁光島) scenery by more than a dozen artists are to go on display today at an outdoor arts festival in Tainan’s Anping District (安平). The Yuguang Island Art Festival, curated by the UrbanART Studio with the theme “healing,” is to provide a soothing experience after a turbulent year of battling the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of climate change, Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che (黃偉哲) said. The Whisper of the Sea installation by itinerant artists Tsai Hsiao-chi and Kimiya Yoshikawa is pictured at the Yuguang Island Art Festival in Tainan’s Anping District in an undated photograph. The other works are the Yuguang Island Flags, Floating Memory, Thrill of Shedding, Weaving Forest, Ups and Downs, Frame of Dreams, The Sea Blows Your Way, Whisper of the Sea, Light Fishing, Parallel Universe and Sound Geography. People should walk or take a shuttle bus across Yuguang Bridge to the festival, as the bridge will be closed to private motor vehicles — excluding Yuguang residents — from 10am to 6pm daily, the studio said.
