Preserving local traditions

» Since Phetchaburi and Songkhla have an abundance of sugar palm trees, people recognise these two provinces for their palm sugar products. When local ingredient expert Anusorn Tipayanon and community architect Jantrarat Jantaratippalukit visited Pattani, they were surprised to see the palm sugar production process there. After trying wak or krachae (liquor made from palm sugar) in Panare, Anusorn came up with the idea to create the exhibition "Soul/Sweet" which depicts products made from palm sugar.

» Nothing gets you through the day like a cup of coffee, whether to kickstart your morning or keep you awake all day long. Many might see coffee as just another caffeinated drink, regardless of how it is brewed, with little or no thought to its origins.

» Nam pak sathon is a condiment from the Dan Sai district of Loei province. With a salty flavour, people in Loei replace fish sauce and nam pla ra (fermented fish sauce) with nam pak sathon when making som tam (spicy papaya salad), jaew dam (Isan style sauce) and other Isan dishes. Thus, when TCDC Commons at Seacon Square Srinagarindra held the workshop "Nam Pak Sathon", 15 participants learned about the condiment and how to use it in dishes.

Guru has gathered a list of interesting workshops and private classes for you to never stop growing (metaphorically). We also asked workshop instructors what they have to offer their students and their backgrounds as food for thought.

» Inspired by the book The Presentation Of Self In Everyday Life by Scottish author Erving Goffman, Thai surrealist photographer Namoh Kongdhana created two photos under the theme "Everyday, A Play In One Act". The first photo represents "front stage" and portrays a girl sitting in front of a red theatre curtain while all eyes are on her. The other represents "backstage" and depicts a girl enjoying her alone time.

A sight for sore eyes

» Art has been and still is a vital part of our life and history though it has evolved over the years. The Renaissance gave us legendary works of art like Da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Michelangelo's David. Fast forward to the present and we still view art regularly albeit in different forms -- now on a 55in. OLed TV. Hey, Netflix movies and shows are still work of art, don't judge. I understand that there is a vast difference between sitting on your couch and going to a gallery or an exhibition. Guru provides you, dear readers with refreshing breaks like a list of new galleries that are worth your time.
