[vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]In Creativity Challenge 2022, the pair of Tr\u1ea7n Th\u1ea3o Mi\u00ean and Linh Tr\u1ecbnh presents a concept that will evolve Th\u1eadt H\u01b0 series of installations inspired by the feather duster.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe feather duster has been a familiar item to cleaning out dust and spiderwebs in Vietnamese families for hundreds of years. However, with the reason “Spare the rod and spoil the child”, this cleaning tool is given a new function as a cane to spank bad-behaving children, rather than for cleaning. This age-old lifestyle has made the tool unofficially a symbol of domestic violence covered by soft feathers.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nWith Th\u1eadt H\u01b0 (Naughty duster), the artists reimagine the original design as a slender and beautiful object worthy of display and contemplation, thus removing the negative connotation with a positive and graceful one. Replacing the stiff traditional feather duster with a slender, elaborately carved handle, the artwork is almost a reminder for parents in the way they teach their children, to be light as a feather yet graceful and steady as a silver-lined lacquer. The slender, elastic staff also serves as a reminder for the flexible yet determined way of conduct in the family.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator style=”dashed”][vc_column_text]\r\n

Th\u1eadt H\u01b0 duster will be a part of G\u00f3c T\u0129nh T\u1ea1i (Stillness Corner, First prize and Audience choice of Vietnam Design Week 2020) which represents the Vietnamese modern living space. In Stillness Corner, a Vietnamese woman relaxes on the rattan mat, gracefully holds Th\u1eadt H\u01b0 duster in her hand and directs the family business large and small. This makes the perfect counterpart to the well-worn image of the man being the pillar of the family, tough as wood. The matriarch of Sonson is charming behind the thin curtains with a light, soft yet powerful feather duster. This elegant object is a reminder of the dignified way of being – not through violence but with empathy. This embodies the flexible and harmonious Taoist philosophy that is ingrained in the Vietnamese way of living.<\/span>\r\n\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_images_carousel images=”3387,3385,3383,3381,3379″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1662258854283{margin-bottom: 2rem !important;}”]Artist Tr\u1ea7n Th\u1ea3o Mi\u00ean & Designer Linh Tr\u1ecbnh working with traditional artisanal materials<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The artists plans to produce a series of prototypes, each will be a combination of at least two traditional handicraft techniques. Th\u1eadt H\u01b0 is both revealing and subtle, witty with many layers of meanings about behaviours in a family and the role of women in the modern society. By adding new values to a fading traditional everyday object, they hope to initiate a sustainable cycle in designing our future tradition and enriching the appreciation for art and design in the community.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator style=”dashed”][vc_column_text]\r\n
