Bangkok Kunsthalle is thrilled to announce "The Preservation of Fire" by Busui Ajaw, curated by Gemmica Sinthawalai, Mark Chearavanont and Stefano Rabolli Pansera

"The Preservation of Fire" approaches cultural preservation not as the static display of artefacts, but as an active practice. Developed in close collaboration with the Akha community, the works re-enact forms of dwelling, craftsmanship, and ritual that are increasingly at risk of disappearance—foregrounding practice as the condition through which culture endures.Spanning two floors, the installation unfolds as both a physical and cosmological cross-section. A field of textiles below and a reconstructed Akha house above form a vertical structure between life and memory, between the realms of the living and the dead.
