We first told Cee Cee readers about Berlin-based Flaneur Magazine when it launched in 2013, and it’s been among our favorite reads ever since. Flaneur takes an innovative approach, featuring one street per issue and telling its stories through the people and places there. For the eighth edition, the magazine goes to Taiwan’s capital, Taipei, and the historical area around Kangding/Wanda Road to give readers a glimpse of this microcosm of Taiwanese life. The edition launch is being celebrated with the very first Flaneur Festival, which will bring these visions of Taipei to Berlin for an all-night party. The aim is to create a spatial story by transforming Haus der Kulturen der Welt with immersive events and performances, such as a reading room collaboration between two bookshops, Berlin’s Do You Read Me?! and Taipei’s Pon Ding, featuring hard-to-find authors. A Taiwanese teahouse and bistro pop-up from Cozymazu, calligraphy classes, and a classic tea ceremony complete this journey through the country’s lively culture and history.
