Exhibition preview/ Hathaikan Kongaunruan: chok dee!

Join us for the opening of our new Granada Foundation Gallery Exhibition. chok dee! (Thai for ‘good luck!’) is a new participatory installation by Hathaikan Kongaunruan that recreates the public and personal shrines commonly found in Thai culture. The exhibition is centered around the Thai folklore goddess of Fortune, Nang Kwak. A figure who has existed for many centuries, Nang Kwak continues to grow in symbolic and cultural value in a rapidly advancing and commercialised Thailand.

Hathaikan brings together sustainable methods of sculpture, printmaking, and found objects to explore themes of Thai identity, devotion and waste. chok dee! marks a continued shift in Hathaikan’s practice, deepening her engagement with her Thai heritage through the lens of contemporary art and environmental awareness.
