Titled Eternal Kalpa, the 2025 Thailand Biennial will take place in Phuket. The biennial is curated by Arinrung Rungjang, David Teh, Marisa Phandharakrajadej, and Hera Chan.
The theme, Eternal [Kalpa], focuses on the sustainable relationship between humans and nature amid the challenges of coexistence. This exploration will cover technology, resource use, ecological degradation, and exploitation under capitalism.
‘The theme aims to communicate the relationship between humans, nature, and time, in the context of ecological degradation, threats from technology, wars, the dangers posed by agricultural and large-scale industrial practices, and the heavy exploitation of nature without consideration for the diversity of people coexisting,’ Rungjang explained. ‘The problems stem from a human-centric view, where everything is seen as a tool for human service and meaning.’
The biennial is scheduled to take place from November 2025 through April 2026.
