Introduction

Rosalia Namsai Engchuan (b. Germany) is an artist, curator, and researcher based in Thailand. Her practice centers on situated cosmologies, decolonial methodologies, and relational healing as means to cultivate futures rooted in interdependency and collective action.

Her long-term project Midwife Ontologies proceeds from the conviction that the most radical decolonial act is not critique but a remembering of multi-dimensionality. The project has been presented at Ghost 2568, curated by Amal Khalaf, with the installation holding the world between (Ghost 2568, 2025); her essay Situating a Body within the Cosmos appears in CONG Magazine.

Engchuan is the moving image curator at Bangkok Kunsthalle and founder of the Futures Observatory — a platform for collective study on just and embodied futurities. She holds a PhD from the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology.

Engchuan is part of Un.thai.tled, a network and collective platform connecting Thai diasporic creatives, thinkers, and cultural actors in Germany. It aims to create platforms and opportunities for critical collaboration through curatorial practices, reclaiming the right to tell stories and shape identities while defying stereotypes through artistic practices.
