Among the best experiences one can have while traveling is being able to see the culture of each nation up close, filling a wealth of images and techniques that, as is often the case with art, tell so much about the place from which they come. It is difficult, however, to travel to the other side of the world to discover the culture of distant nations rich in history, such as Taiwan, which is why the Noi Altri Cultural Association with NOI Libreria in Milan has created the TATO (Taiwan on Tour) project, to physically bring part of the Asian state’s artistic heritage to Italy in a journey that touches four cities.

The project travels in a 1979 FIAT 238 van decorated in the colors of the Taiwanese flag, bringing a selection of works, books, illustrated projects and stationery selected through a careful research project to Italy.
TATO’s journey has already touched Milan and Vicenza and in the coming weeks will stop in Turin (for Graphic Days on September 17-18) and Bologna (for Fruit Exhibition from September 30 to October 2). The tour will then conclude again in Milan, from November 6 to 20, hosted by BookCity Milano.
Each stop will feature an exhibition highlighting the work of eight Taiwanese women artists, showcasing the landscape, influences and style of a rich and fascinating artistic culture.
