An egalitarian exhibition

Life, Apipar Norapoompipat, Published on 03/04/2019

» Placed methodically across the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre's (BACC) 8th floor gallery are 200 little figurines of a boy pointing towards the sky. Each decorated, painted and reimagined in different ways by international and Thai artists tells a story of their own.

Her story in history

Life, Apipar Norapoompipat, Published on 07/03/2019

Biting the bullet

Life, Apipar Norapoompipat, Published on 25/03/2019
