ssf shan-shen festival crossing-dimensions

a mountain valley gathering held at a site in central taiwan's nantou highlands, where the zhuoshui river runs through. the site carries indigenous significance, with the local name for the valley translating to "welcome home." the festival spans psytrance, techno, and world music across its programming.

beyond the dancefloor, the format includes installation art built during a pre-festival creation period, workshops, healing programming, a marketplace, and an international guest program that offers complimentary entry to selected overseas travelers. the event positions itself as a participatory platform, inviting artists, builders, healers, performers, and vendors to contribute to the gathering rather than simply attend it.
