“Ethnic Diversity and Cultural Change in Laos” Seminar by TAEC Director

This fascinating 60-minute presentation and question-and-answer session gives background on Laos' ethnic communities, their history, and their cultural practices, including livelihoods and crafts. Guests have an opportunity to learn about lifestyles in ethnic villages and are shown unique artefacts from TAEC's collection that are not accessible to the general public. The seminars are led by one of the two TAEC Founder/Directors, either Thongkhoun Soutthivilay, a Luang Prabang-native who worked at the Luang Prabang National Museum for 10 years, and who has attended trainings and conferences in the US, Thailand, Netherlands, Japan, and Brunei, or Tara Gujadhur, an American who has worked in Luang Prabang for almost 20 years, with a background in anthropology and sustainable tourism.

The "Ethnic Diversity and Cultural Change in Laos" seminar, led by the Director of the Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre (TAEC), aims to explore the rich ethnic diversity and cultural transformations taking place in Laos. The seminar provides a platform for participants to delve into the unique traditions, customs, and heritage of various ethnic groups in Laos, shedding light on their historical significance and contemporary challenges. Through engaging presentations and discussions, the seminar seeks to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the cultural tapestry that makes Laos a truly diverse and vibrant nation.
