SUMMARY:Mechelle Bounpraseuth ສູ້ສູ້ Sou Sou
DESCRIPTION:A playful\, heartfelt tribute to the foods that connect us to home and each other. \nEncounter towers of mangosteens\, big bowls of dragon fruits and giant stacks of canned food in this new interactive exhibition that bursts with colour\, memory and ritual. \nMechelle Bounpraseuth is known for her hand-built\, glossy ceramics depicting food and other homely treasures. In this exhibition of newly commissioned works\, large-scale ceramic sculptures honour the family dining table and the labour of preparing and sharing food. Fruit – especially the kind from her Lao parents’ homeland – is given sacred status as a currency of love. \nVisitors of all ages are invited to gather at tables or ສາດ saat (Lao floor mats) to share the flavours\, dishes and stories that are unique to them. Create an offering to leave on the steps of an elaborate fruit shrine or decorate your own label for a can of food to add to the shelves. \nDrawing on childhood memories and family rituals\, the exhibition places special emphasis on the role of young people in the continuation of culture. Its title\, ສູ້ສູ້ Sou Sou\, is a Lao phrase of encouragement meaning ‘you can do it!’ or ‘stay strong!’ When expressed to children\, it is often voiced with strength – a steady\, heartfelt push to keep going and not lose heart.
