H Gallery in North Sathorn is hosting controversial discussion “Talking Fear” on August 27 from 1.30-4.30pm. The talk is part of education programme of “Fear” exhibition by Thai artist Manit Sriwanichpoom. His shows are now currently on view at H, Tang Contemporary and his own Kathmandu Photography galleries in Bangkok until September 10 and Singapore’s Yavuz Gallery until September 18.
The “fear” of the show’s title refers to the trepidation that living in military-ruled Thailand involves, in such a sensitive time of transition. Manit addresses that fear in artful photographs and a pair of videos depicting the political turmoil and its impact on the monarchy.
Besides Manit, the panelists include his fellow artist-lecturer Sutee Kunavichayanont and art lecturer Toeingam Guptabutra – both from Silpakorn University.
The discussion is in Thai with Eglish translation for non-Thai participants. Visit www.facebook.com/kathmandugallerybangkok
