The Palace of the Celebrations_initial

The Palace of the Celebrations_initial is a space to initially experiment and re-think Thai cultural identity through.  The investigation focuses on a crafting technique specific to Thai cultural festivals. This is an ideal place, evolving from an array of cultural references. These are three Thai traditional celebrations, Boon Bang Fai (Rocketfire), Loy Krathong (Floating basket), and Yi Peng (Lantern festival), which originate from the spiritual importance given to the sky, land, and water in Thai mythology and belief. Each of the three events is celebrated with an objectual making, respectively the Bang Fai (rocket), Krathong (basket), and Khom (lantern).
