After 17 years of operation, Kafka by the Sea, the renowned independent music venue in Taipei’s Gongguan district, prepared to bid farewell. Through a 24-hour farewell party, a special podcast series, a neighborhood cultural map, a historical exhibition, as well as a crowdfunded documentary and publication, the project brought together nearly one hundred musicians and creators to reflect on its legacy while imagining a more diverse and vibrant cultural future for the city.
