When religion meets technology
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 21/11/2022
» K-pop and K-dramas may be the first two things that come to mind when you think of Korea but its traditional cultural heritage is also fascinating. Korean and Thai Buddhisms are in the spotlight in digital form at this joint exhibition by the National Museum of Korea and the Fine Arts Department, Ministry of Culture of Thailand. Named "A New Encounter: Immersive Gallery of Korean Art”, the exhibition presents the Buddhist cultures of both nations, which have never been this cooler with innovative presentations.

Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 12/11/2021

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.
