Taking the stage
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 13/05/2022
» Standing in the shadow of Thai mainstream music are many independent artists waiting for the spotlight to shine on them. Guru speaks to music promoters and organisers from leading underground music and jazz communities, who offer aspiring musicians with a platform to showcase their raw talent, about their roles and opinions on the Thai music industry. We've also got an exclusive talk with the co-founder of a secret gig, who lights up several overlooked street corners in Bangkok with music.
Against status quo
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 12/11/2021
» Art is a powerful tool for self-expression and statement-making. In recent years, more and more young artists in Thailand have used their artworks as a way to question or critique the status quo -- politically, socially and culturally. They ask whether what's considered normal in Thai culture should be accepted as the norm. Guru speaks to a few with ongoing exhibitions that push the limits.
