In 1624, the Dutch built Fort Zeelandia in Anping District in Tainan, which means Tainan is the oldest civilized settlement in Taiwan. The year 2024 will mark the 400th anniversary of the establishment of Tainan as a town or city. In addition, the year 1624 also marks the beginning of cross-continental collaboration being documented widely in Taiwan’s history, including those in respect of culture, trade and art, as well as several areas of conflict in terms of society, politics and the military.

The year 2024 is an important historical moment for ‘Tainan 400’. This year’s (2024) call for artists aims to focus on two main issues: firstly, the exploration and interpretation of themes related to the indigenous Taiwanese tribes, namely the Siraya and the Plains indigenous peoples; and secondly, to visualize and represent discourse on the physical heritage of ‘Tainan 400’, including the local architecture - especially warehouses - and a multitude of other materials, products and objects related to Taiwan’s colonial history during the past 400 years.
