The Taipei Hakka Affairs Commission will hold the ”2018 Hakka Yi-min Carnival in Taipei” on October 20th and 21st, and this is the thirtieth anniversary of the “Restore My Mother Tongue Campaign,” so the main theme and spirit of this event will be that of the “30th Hakka Festival.” This event will invite the Yi-min temples and people from all over Taiwan to celebrate together in Taipei, and it is based on the Yi-min faith’s reproduction of Taipei City with intrinsic Hakka features in a concise style. Moreover, Hakka cultural values will be presented and multiple cultures will be enriched in this event. With this event we expect to build the city art festival with the most Hakka features.
The Hakka Yi-min Festival is an annual large iconic Hakka cultural event in Taipei, whose plans this year are “blessing, gratitude, and celebrating” and the main visual designs adopting the spirit of “Pop Art.” Combining Hakka red and blue colors and shape patterns, this event uses attractive colors and natural and simple geometric lines to present a diversified, lively, and energetic atmosphere adding contemporary art color to Hakka, which is always considered traditional. Everyone is encouraged to speak Hakka by opening their mouths. Using “The Dance” of Matisse as an aid, this event uses the dancing people in this work to show that we appreciate the efforts and sacrifice of our ascendants with a joyful mood to celebrate the inheritance of Hakka language and Hakka culture and to show that Hakka is reborn after 30 years of the Restore My Mother Tongue Campaign.
“2018 Hakka Yi-min Carnival in Taipei” will hold the “greeting the spirits procession” at Taipei City Hall Square on October 20th , and will “carry a load and parade the streets” in front of Office of the President of the Republic of China on October 21st. Moreover, there are also performances from young Hakka students, contemporary and traditional art, and pop music at Taipei City Hakka Cultural Park, and people are welcomed to actively participate in the event to experience the most beautiful Hakka view in Taipei City.
