Helen Grace and Phaptawan Suwannakudt weave a conversation across five decades – a dialogue charting the shifting tides of gender roles in Australia, Thailand and Hong Kong. Their exhibition unfolds through a collage of personal memories and historical moments, layered with sound, image and objects that trace the displacements of time and place. Together, they build an expansive installation: sculpture, video projections and fragments of memory entwined like the lives they’ve lived. Wars endured, motherhood embraced – destruction and creation mirrored in their collaboration, felt as a kind of destiny. Their stories span worlds: Thailand, Australia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia – regions opening to each other, reshaping a global map. Amid this, a dream of borderless connection emerges, fragile and luminous, just before shadows creep in. The work breathes in folding screens and flickering video – mediums that hold space for their shared histories and hopes.
August 14-November 26. Free. 9/F, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, 10am-8pm
