Event Introduction |

The 8th Taipei Illustration Fair in 2025 revolves around the theme "I Wish to Be a Cat in My Next Life," inviting everyone to explore this relaxed and carefree world.

Each year, the Taipei Illustration Fair is dedicated to discovering diverse and unique illustration styles and providing a platform for creators to showcase their work—"Making Illustration More Than Just Illustration." The artworks do not necessarily have to feature cats, but through various illustrations, we hope to help people rediscover the simple joys of life and reconnect with their inner spiritual world. In this era of information overload, we are constantly surrounded by endless messages, work, and stress, gradually becoming true “corporate slaves.” Overtime, reports, meetings, KPIs—these terms incessantly remind us of our mental and physical exhaustion, to the point where being a corporate slave feels even more tiring than being a pet at home! "I Wish to Be a Cat in My Next Life" has become a deep-seated desire for many. Imagine living a carefree life like a cat—how wonderful that would be! A cat’s day is simple and leisurely—they sleep, hunt for food, cuddle, play, and live without conflict, basking in unconditional love and trust while savoring every moment of the present. As they stretch out under the warm sun, can we also learn from them how to regain inner peace and reconnect with ourselves?

These artistic creations aim to inspire audiences to pause amidst their busy lives, reflecting on how to return their hearts to themselves, learn to enjoy the present moment, and embrace inner tranquility. We hope this year’s Illustration Fair will serve as a small turning point in people’s lives, encouraging them to rethink their life pace and find their own balance and happiness. Through illustration, we will showcase how to express inner thoughts and seek simple joy and serenity in this complex world. The desire to "be a cat in my next life" and the feline way of life remind us that enjoying the moment and focusing on the present are the keys to finding peace.

About Taipei Illustration Fair |

"Illustration" is a form of artistic expression that combines artistic creation with text, both non-verbal and verbal, possessing the communicative essence of "narrating" inner thoughts.

"Taipei Illustration Fair" has created an illustration art exhibition that belongs to Taipei City, is rooted in Taiwan, and is connected internationally. Through annual themed curatorial solicitations, it collects and exhibits works from domestic and foreign illustration creators, and designs an award system to encourage and support illustration creation. This illustration art festival, which belongs to Taipei City, has become a regularly held event, bringing together outstanding local illustrators, jointly exposing and consolidating the benefits of illustration, and promoting the virtuous cycle of the illustration art industry, so that "Illustration is no longer just illustration."
