					<description><![CDATA[The Katu are a small ethnic group living in the Annam Mountains of Southern Laos and central Vietnam. Due to their remote and inaccessible villages, the Katu have kept many of their cultural traditions intact. They are skilled in a number of traditional arts and TAEC wished to honour their heritage by curating a special temporary exhibition back in 2013 titled, “<a href="https://www.taeclaos.org/featured_item/exhibition-past-carving-a-community-katu-people/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carving a Community: The Katu People</a>”.

The special exhibition and subsequent soft cover, 45-page catalogue, assembled years of research which highlighted the Katu’s rich spiritual and artistic traditions and cultural heritage. The display currently lives on in a permanent location in Sekong Province.

This exhibition catalogue gives an overview of the Katu culture and society in Laos. Contents and chapters include:
<ul>
 	<li>The Katu</li>
 	<li>The Village</li>
 	<li>Gifts of Exchange</li>
 	<li>Gender Roles</li>
 	<li>Changes</li>
</ul>

					<description><![CDATA[“Voices of the Wind: Traditional Instruments in Laos” was recently published by the Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre and authored by ethnomusicologist Marie-Pierre Lissoir and TAEC co-founder Tara Gujadhur.

This full colour, 48-page softcover book is the culmination of two years of research and a special exhibition documenting wind instruments and music in Laos. Music and musical instruments are a part of everyday life. For celebrations, courtship, rituals, or to communicate with the spirits, musical practices touch every member of a community during every part of the year.

The book highlights cultural practices, individual wind instruments, and musician stories - some the last surviving musicians and instrument makers in a village or a region. A perfect gift for the music lover or those who have spent time in Laos.

This book pairs well with "Cultural Diversity in Laos: Stories from the Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre".
