ice cream as a landscape
For MAP 2024 “Going places, Moving things”, ba-bau AIR relocates their residency to Hoà Bình as a tribute for lost homelands and discovering landscapes of labour, nature and spiritual. Kiều-Anh explores the region through its natural landscapes, cultural heritage, and culinary traditions, rooted in the native Mường ethnic community. She delves into their indigenous flavor profiles by foraging while blending them with the diasporic influences of the Viet-Thai community that has resided in Hoà Bình since 1945.
The earthy green taste of lá & smoky hạt dổi are the tribute to the Mường who lived and breathed air and sacred land. The crispy yet chocolaty fermented fish flakes are little gems from the residents of Baan Noorg Collaborative & Arts who paved ways for us to be in touch with the Viet-Thai community in Hoà Bình.
