Bologna Children's Book Fair 2026 Highlight
🌲Welcome to TAIWAN STORY FOREST🌲

This April, TAICCA (Taiwan Creative Content Agency) brought Taiwan's vibrant storytelling scene to the world's biggest children's book fair in Bologna, Italy — and we made our mark.

Organized by TAICCA and co-organized by the Taipei Book Fair Foundation, the Taiwan Pavilion transformed into a lush green "TAIWAN Story Forest," showcasing the creative energy of 35 publishers and 228 original works from Taiwan. 🇹🇼✨

🌟 Highlight 1 | Taiwan's IP Power on the Global Stage
For the second time, Taiwan stepped into Bologna's Licensing Trade Fair — and we came with our heaviest hitters. Jimmy Liao's The Moon Forgots and beloved children IP The Duckbill (達克比) leading the way, showing that Taiwanese stories are ready to go cross-media, cross-border, and cross-industry.

🌟 Highlight 2 | Talented Taiwanese Creators at Bologna
Three celebrated Taiwanese author and illustrators attended Bologna this year — and all three are nominated for the prestigious Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (ALMA):
🖊️ Bei Lynn (林小杯) 🖊️ Hsu-Kung LIU (劉旭恭) 🖊️ Yih-Fen CHOU (周逸芬)

On the opening day, they took the @bolognabookplus stage to share how their stories travel across cultures, drawing publishers, illustrators, and fans from around the world. 🌍

Bei Lynn was invited to read Article 32 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in Taiwanese, letting the world hear Taiwan's diverse voices. 🗣️🌿

Hsu-Kung LIU hosted a handmade book workshop at the fair. On April 15, both creators came together for a Live Portrait Session at the Taiwan Pavilion, drawing portraits for visitors who stopped by. 🎨

🌟 Highlight 3 | Sold Out in a Flash!
The energy on the floor was electric and the deals followed. Works including:
📗 Little Monk Writes Rain by Hsu-Kung LIU (劉旭恭)
📗 Sin-ki Hàn-ióh-pâng by Chen Chien-Jung (陳芊榕)
📗 Playing in a Dream by Sen (森森)
…sold quickly and sparked strong international interest. 🔥

🌟 Highlight 4 | 6 Illustrators Selected for the Bologna Illustrators Exhibition
Taiwan ranked 3rd globally with 6 creators selected from over 4,000 submissions across 88 countries. 🎨
It's a result that speaks to the depth and distinctiveness of Taiwan's illustration scene — where every selected work carries its own visual voice.

From the page to rights deals to cross-industry development, Taiwan's creative content is steadily connecting the dots. International fairs like Bologna bring creators, publishers, and rights holders closer together — giving every story a chance to travel further, and to keep being read across languages and cultures.

May Taiwan's Story Forest bloom across the world. 🌲🌍

📚 Taiwan Manga Shines in Brussels: A Dialogue Across Borders
What made European readers stop in their tracks? 👀🇪🇺
The Foire du Livre de Bruxelles concluded with a massive splash of Taiwanese creativity! 🎉
In collaboration with the French manga platform https://t.co/oyQ1jScW1H, TAICCA presented "Dialogue entre deux rives : le Manga taïwanais en francophonie"(Taiwanese Manga in the Francophone World), featuring two of Taiwan’s most iconic comic artists: Karmarket and Aliyo.

The two artists drew live on the pavilion’s outer walls 🎨, their powerful strokes and intricate designs drawing huge crowds and showcasing the raw visual impact of Taiwanese manga.

The on-site bookstore also featured a rich lineup of Taiwanese manga in French, showcasing the diversity of Taiwan’s comic universe to European audiences.

We look forward to bringing more Taiwanese stories to international readers and expanding creative exchanges across borders.

We believe that powerful storytelling can transcend cultural and language barriers, resonating with audiences around the world. 🌍📖

📚Taiwanese publishing and IP charm Bangkok! ✨
The Bangkok International Book Fair was buzzing with energy this year! As part of its strategy to drive synergy between illustrated publishing and character IP," TAICCA brought a stellar lineup of Taiwanese literary agents and IPs to the heart of Southeast Asia.

From the world-renowned Jimmy Liao to the adorably healing TAKOKUMA, the Taiwan Pavilion was packed with fans. Some dedicated enthusiasts even visited specifically to "sweep the shelves" and collect their favorite merchandise!

Beyond the character craze, Taiwanese literature is making waves. Major Thai publishers like Amarin, Nanmeebooks, and Jamsai have secured Thai rights for acclaimed works, including Kevin Chen’s Ghost Town and Kuang Feng’s The Suncake Pastry Shop.

Veteran literary agent Gray Tan, well-versed in the Thai market, shared that publishing ties between Taiwan and Thailand are strengthening, with growing interest across genres ranging from BL 💕 and horror 👁️‍🗨️ to mystery 🔍 and self-help 🌱.

Nattakorn Vuttichaipornkul, President of PUBAT, noted that since signing an MOU with TAICCA last year, collaborations have flourished. Looking ahead, PUBAT aims to deepen these ties by promoting cross-media adaptation and joint industry initiatives.

TAICCA will continue to champion Taiwanese talent, strengthening connections between the Taiwanese and Thai publishing industries, and leveraging major international fairs to bring Taiwan’s stories to the global stage. ✈️🌏

📷 Under the Dome: Taiwanese Content Hits the International Stage
#ExhibitionRecap | 2025 Innovative Co-production Program: Dome Projection
​
Within the near-360° immersive theater of The Frost Planetarium, the lights dimmed as Temporal Strata and New Modern Times invited audiences into a narrative space where time folds and cultures collide on a cosmic scale.
​
The journey began with an inspiring Opening Night featuring a high-energy crowd and distinguished speakers, including Miami Mayor Eileen Higgins, Frost Museum of Science President & CEO Doug Roberts,, and representatives from TAICCA, as the Taiwanese creative teams took the stage to share the vision behind their groundbreaking projects. As the exhibition progressed, the works continued to captivate across multiple sold-out sessions, reflecting a powerful resonance between the art and the audience.
​
The experience was truly multisensory: musician Ping-Sheng WU delivered a live performance for Temporal Strata where sound and visuals flowed in perfect, immersive synchronicity.
​
Meanwhile, New Modern Times captured hearts with its soul-stirring Indigenous songs and evocative imagery of Taiwan’s natural landscapes, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.
​
Beyond the screenings, the dialogue continued long after the credits rolled. Audiences stayed to engage with the creators, diving deep into the inspiration and aesthetic philosophy behind the works.
​
From the grand opening to these successful ticketed runs, this showcase proves that Taiwanese cultural technology is not just about artistic energy—it’s about building real-world market validation in the global immersive arena.

🌍 TAICCA × OASIS Immersion | The Immersive Carnival of the Animals Opens in Montreal
An artistic journey for audiences of all ages
Taiwanese immersive content is now shining in Montreal. Co-produced by creative teams from Taiwan and Canada, The Immersive Carnival of the Animals is now on view at OASIS Immersion.

Inspired by Camille Saint-Saëns’ beloved classic, the experience brings together music, visual storytelling, interactive design, and spatial imagination in a 70-minute journey across three exhibition zones. 🎵🎥✨

Upon entering, audiences of all ages are equipped with synchronized LED wristbands that pulse in harmony with the music and shifting colors of the environment. Together with whimsical characters and dynamic lightscapes, visitors embark on a sensory-rich artistic adventure.

This project not only highlights the integration prowess of Taiwanese teams in immersive production and international co-financing but also places families and multi-generational audiences at its heart, striking a perfect balance between artistic depth and market appeal.

OASIS Immersion noted at the opening: "Content specifically created for children is still relatively rare in the immersive industry. Yet immersive media is a powerful tool for evoking emotion, curiosity, and wonder—and wonder is the language of childhood."

Ahead of the official opening, OASIS Immersion invited student groups for an exclusive preview experience. They showed strong interest in the character-driven world and multisensory experience throughout the exhibition, reflecting the project’s strong potential to engage young audiences and inspire perception and creativity through immersive storytelling.

Through international co-production and global presentation opportunities, TAICCA continues to support Taiwanese cultural-tech content in reaching new audiences around the world. 🌟

🎶 Taiwanese Indie Music Lit Up Bangkok!
Last weekend, five Taiwanese musicians performed at Bangkok Music City (BMC), bringing their sounds from Taiwan’s indie scene straight to the heart of Bangkok’s old town.

✨ LINION kicked things off with “Wall.Eyes.Knee” — a playful Mandarin pun (it sounds like “I love you”), teaching the crowd a fun Chinese phrase and instantly breaking the ice.
✨ Lilium blended traditional elements with indie rock, weaving together instruments like yueqin, recorder, and electric guitar.
✨ Our Shame surprised the audience with a Thai-language version of “Beach Dog”, sparking an immediate emotional connection — with LINION making a special appearance on stage to join the performance.
✨ Ahh G turned the historic Grand Post Office Theatre into a dance floor, delivering an energetic set filled with groove and city-pop vibes.
✨ FTK closed with his signature electronic sound inspired by Southeast Asian themes, earning high praise from international promoters on site.

The passion and energy of Thai audiences left a deep impression on the artists. Many shared how powerful it felt to connect beyond language, and really enjoy the vibe of Thailand's stage.

Beyond the stage, Taiwan’s music industry delegation was also busy. One industry representative summed it up perfectly:
“BMC is the front line of industry exchange. You have to treat yourself like a super salesperson — pitching your artists or projects clearly, fast, and memorably.”

Big thanks to Bangkok Music City for providing such an important platform connecting Asia’s music industry with the world.We’re excited to be part of this journey with you, and proud that TAICCA can be your partner.💪💪💪

See you next year — and here’s to even more music exchanges between Taiwan and Thailand 🇹🇼🇹🇭🎶
