Mandi Bunga (Flower Bathing Ceremony)

Anchana Nangkala

Date:

8 - 28 Oct 2023

We would like to invite everyone to join in the opening ceremony of the "Mandi Bunga" (Flower Bathing Ceremony) exhibition, showcasing the thesis work of Anchana Nangkala. This exhibition will immerse you in the indigenous cultural tradition of flower bathing in the three southern border provinces, passing down from one generation to the next generation.

The "Mandi Bunga" is like a way to boost one's spirit, making those who participate feel as fresh as flowers. It also signifies the onset of a new life filled with good fortune. The artist extracts symbolism associated with the treatment process, from preparation to the actual and post-treatment phases, by communicating through the aesthetical and visual elements in the form of oil paintings a total of four sets: including: Set 1—“Hope, Belief, And Flower Bathing”, Set 2—“Flowers, Beauty, And Blossoming”, Set 3—“Aesthetics In Flower Bathing”, and Set 4—“Aesthetics After Flower Bathing”.
