ANURAK TANYAPALIT

Huong So, 2018

 

DASH project at Làng Art Dorm, Hue City, Vietnam

 

 

Focus on researching the process of urbanization repression and attacking vulnerable communities, Anurak Tanyapalit has penetrated into Huong So resettlement site, a large area of resettlement area for sampan households on Huong So River, and slums around the city. He uses the word Huong as the keyword to exploring their memories of life on the river, and to question their current lives better than before?
Anurak will conduct an oil refining workshop at the Huong So resettlement site along with the residents there. Then develop the top-end product as a real commercial product and give back the whole process for people to continue producing. The product brand name is Huong So Essential Oil. Memories of floating life on the Perfume River will be reproduced in a different way in a completely different place than before: the resettlement site.
