Taipei, March 13 (CNA) The Yunlin County government broke ground Friday on Taiwan s first art center dedicated to preserving the art of glove puppetry, and expects the center to open in May 2023. Glove puppetry represents part of Taiwan s image, and Yunlin is the hometown of glove puppetry, said Yunlin County Magistrate Chang Li-shan (張麗善) at the groundbreaking ceremony at the site in Huwei Township.
The county has the largest number of registered glove puppetry groups in Taiwan 127 and three studios dedicated to the craft, Chang said, and hoped the center will help preserve and develop the traditional art and connect it with the international puppetry art world.
