 "Chiang Rai has had a long and complex history, stretching back to at least the thirteenth century. Our curatorial team embraces this history as our guide into the future. This Biennale emphasizes Chiang Rai’s past as the crucial foundation for appreciating the many facets of this vibrant and contemporary region. We present a concept for this year's art biennale based on the complex history of Chiang Rai that reveals the perspective of a small narrative, astounding cultural diversity, and a unique ecosystem. Thailand Biennale Chiang Rai 2023 will focus on Chiang Rai as a locus of artistic exploration and connection with other localities at the regional and global levels. The region will be showcased as a multicultural arena for cultural exchange and dialogue on contemporary issues in the post-Covid world."
