🪡 What stories can woven thread carry?

Now on view as part of Threads of Kinship at He Art Museum ()

In El viaje de Yibo (2024), Angélica Serech () draws on the tradition of weaving güipiles—textiles that carry Mayan histories, identities, and ancestral knowledge. Treating textile as a form of visual language, her work traces how memory, knowledge, and women’s labor move across generations.

Bringing together 44 artists, the exhibition explores histories of care, autonomy, and chosen kinship through material practices.

Introducing Anna Harsanyi, KADIST's first Curatorial Fellow ✨ Over the next 18 months in Paris, she will develop an exhibition and a series of public programs drawing on KADIST’s resources, including its international collection, while working closely with the KADIST Paris team, guest curators, and international partners.

Anna Harsanyi is a curator, educator and arts manager.

Independently, she has organized cross-cultural and site-specific projects in New York, Saint Petersburg, and Seoul; commissioned works on hidden histories for The New School Centennial; and collaborated on a series of events centered on play.

Remembering the River Kwai 🕯️

Saroot Supasuthivech is a Thai artist whose work explores sites, memory, and history through moving-image “reassemblages” that merge tangible remnants with mystical narratives.

Now part of the , River Kwai: This Memorial Service was Held in the Memory of the Deceased (2022) is a two-channel video installation reflecting on the thousands who died building the Burma Railway. Filmed at Krasae Cave, now a tourist site, the work shifts between a memorial performance and spectators recording on their phones, rendered ghostly through an X-ray-like filter.

The installation examines how spectacle and tourism can normalize violence, turning remembrance into performance while exposing the fragile line between memory, entertainment, and historical amnesia.
