The story

Nuit Blanche Taipei in Taipei

Nuit Blanche Taipei, known locally as Baizhou zhi Ye (White Day Night), is Taipei's version of the international all-night contemporary art festival, launched in 2015 and rotating each year to a different city district, offering free overnight public art installations and performances.

Nuit Blanche began in Paris in 2002 as a simple but disorienting idea: keep the city open and lit through the night, and fill it with free contemporary art, turning ordinary streets, courtyards and buildings into a single overnight gallery.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Following the model pioneered in Paris, the festival keeps a chosen part of the city open and illuminated overnight for free public art, but Taipei's edition distinguishes itself by rotating its host district each year rather than fixing on one neighborhood, meaning the festival repeatedly reintroduces different parts of the city, from historic quarters to modern districts, to a single night of unconventional art-going
