BANGKOK — Mozambican lives will be presented through an artist’s traditional wood-carved miniature models starting Tuesday.

Artists Dino Jetha will present his wood carving skills in Psikhelekedana, a traditional Mozambican art form of creating miniature models painted in bright colors to document the lives and scenes from the streets of the capital city, Maputo.

The “Mozambique Written in Wood” exhibition will be on display Tuesday and Wednesday at Dazzle Zone on the ground floor of CentralWorld before moving to the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre on Thursday, where it will remain through Aug. 20.

CentralWorld is a 10 minute walk from BTS Siam or Chit Lom stations, while BACC can be easily accessed from the BTS National Stadium skywalk.
