Darunee Terdtoontaveedej (Initiator / Curator)
Darunee Terdtoontaveedej is a curator and researcher with a strong interest in collecting and forming a collection. Trained as an architect at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of the Arts London, and later as a designer at Design Academy Eindhoven, Terdtoontaveedej specialises in cross-disciplinary collaboration and looking beyond the design world through the designer’s lens. Her fascinations include issues such as the home and sense of belonging, the selves, and alternative histories. Prior to her Masters education in The Netherlands, she has worked as a design and architecture journalist and editor for art4d magazine, Thailand’s first design magazine and book publisher. She is currently the LGBTQ+ programme curator at CinemAsia Film Festival and has been selected as the Young Curator of the 49th edition of International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR).

Honey Kraiwee (Coordinator / Communication)
Honey Kraiwee is an MA graduate from Maastricht University with a major in curating. Before her education in the Netherlands, she was a vice director of the art and cultural department at Alliance Fraçaise in Bangkok, Thailand. Recently, she received a grant to create MOONMOON CALENDAR. Inspired by the Chinese lunisolar calendar, the project resets our way of thinking about time and rethinks horoscopes by unveiling an algorithmic similarity between astrologers and Artificial Intelligence. Honey is also a regular host at A Tale of a Tub, an institution for contemporary art and culture in Rotterdam. Its program is centred around questions of how art can contribute to our understanding of present-day social, political, and ecological issues. Honey is currently keen on researching and working with concepts interrelating amongst non-human centred cultures and internet culture.

Non Native Native Embassy programme is made possible with kind support of Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst and Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie.
