In the organiser's words
Quoted from wonderwood.com.tw and checked on 1 September 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.
Wonderwood is an evolving forest-based creative sanctuary and immersive cultural project in rural Hsinchu, Taiwan. We are currently seeking artists, designers, storytellers, builders, organizers, and collaborators who want to help shape a living world, part artist residency, part experimental cultural space, part immersive narrative environment. This is not a traditional residency focused only on isolated studio practice.
We are especially interested in people excited by: co-creation interdisciplinary collaboration immersive experiences myth/story/worldbuilding community-centered living regenerative/ecological culture participatory art and play Current Priority Areas Story & Narrative Writers, poets, lore-builders, ARG designers, narrative designers, folklorists, journal-makers, and mythic thinkers. Immersive Games & Experiences Game designers, LARP creators, puzzle designers, interactive theater artists, ritual/game facilitators, and experience architects.
Installation & Environmental Art Installation artists, sculptors, environmental artists, set designers, light/sound artists, and makers interested in transforming space. Stewardship & Community Operations Organizers, producers, retreat coordinators, hospitality-minded creatives, and systems-oriented collaborators who enjoy helping spaces function smoothly. Ecological & Regenerative Practice Permaculture practitioners, herbalists, ecological educators, land artists, and people interested in regenerative living systems.
What We Value Initiative and self-direction Collaborative spirit Adaptability Respect for shared/community spaces Creativity beyond conventional categories Interest in experimentation, ritual, play, and meaning-making The Environment Wonderwood is a rustic and evolving forest property with shared spaces, artistic infrastructure, gardens, gathering areas, and a growing international creative community. Life here is communal, hands-on, and participatory.
People often contribute not only through their art, but also through cooking, organizing, hosting, gardening, building, storytelling, and helping shape the atmosphere of the space itself. Opportunities may include: artist residencies work exchange collaborative project development immersive weekend facilitation long-term stewardship pathways experimental cultural programming Structures vary depending on the project, duration, and level of involvement.
