TIPF values linguistic diversity and provides a multilingual tour experience, with both audio guides and in-person tours available in Taiwanese Mandarin and Taigi. In addition, English-language group tours are available by reservation, inviting audiences to engage with the works in the language they are most comfortable with.
For the audio guide experience, Audrey Tang, Taiwan’s Cyber Ambassador-at-Large, narrates Dear Taiwan, Outdoor Exhibition in Taiwanese Mandarin, guiding listeners through the democratic values conveyed by the images. The Taiwanese Mandarin audio guide for After New Wave Photography Award—Emerging Photographers in Taiwan features a conversation between the curator and artists, offering a candid and intimate insight into their creative journeys.
All three thematic exhibitions also include Taigi audio guides. Sound director Rin and theater actor Hsiao-Han Lin each serve as guides, inviting audiences to connect deeply with the works through meaningful conversation, inspiring both emotional resonance and critical reflection.
If you’re interested in exploring the issues behind the works from a variety of perspectives, we warmly invite you to join the Community Gathering. Artists, researchers, and cultural practitioners from diverse backgrounds will lead walkthroughs of the exhibition, sharing their unique viewpoints and guide you to discover diverse ways of seeing and thinking.
