"Transparent sugar" is a common element of life in Tainan, woven into its culture, air, and food. This intangible sweetness is embedded in the city's cultural fabric, just like glass. Though seemingly invisible, glass is in fact a vital foundation for urban development.
In the summer of 2024, the biennial Galas aims to deconstruct the city's transparent elements and highlight its local features, starting a dialogue on sustainability through topics of "transparency," "glass" and "sugar." Supported by various industries for local cultural connections and focusing on the concept of "essence," this event seeks to deepen the link between transparency and the local community. A simple act of participation will allow visitors to witness culture in its original form by themselves and gain a deeper appreciation of the region's unique character and industries.
