Thank you to all who attended our first The Spirits of Maritime Crossing Press Conference in Bangkok, Thailand, on 29 Feb 2024, and made this event an unforgettable and remarkable one!
The intricate details of the The Spirits of Maritime Crossing was unveiled by Founder and Chairman of the Bangkok Art Biennale Foundation, Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi, Chief Executive and Artistic Director of the Bangkok Art Biennale and Curator of The Spiritis of Maritime Crossing, Prof. Dr. Apinan Poshyananda, H.E. Mr. Paolo Dionisi, Ambassador of Italy to Thailand, coupled with artists who will be displaying their works.
The Spirits of Maritime Crossing explores cultural flows and moving water as metaphors of unexplored ocean and territories. Southeast Asian artists from the Global South share many commonalities but also differences in ethnicities, religions, languages that make them foreign among neighbours. The legacy of these nations constituted cultural hybrids among foreigners, refugees, immigrants and stateless people.
