Acts of Commoning: a HK-Thai Cultural Exchange Project

Acts of Commoning is a cultural exchange project curated by wen yau in 2019, in collaboration with Asiatopia Foundation.  Three HK artists (Vangi Fong, wen yau, and Cally Yu) stay in a village in Nan, northern Thailand between 2 and 15 January 2019.

The 2-week residency was also joined by Thai artists Teetat Saewang, Natthakorn Surintham and Chumpon Apisuk, director of Asiatopia Foundation. During the 2-week residency, the artists hang out with the villagers in Baan Nam Krog Mai and learned how they shared resources and built their community in an intensive social network.  The project offered the artists and the villagers a great opportunity to meet each other from different cultures and exchange ideas about our own practices in everyday life, contemporary art and social engagement.
