Next week marks the anniversary of the 6th October 1976 massacre at Thammasat University. Last year, for the first time, artefacts from the massacre itself were on display for two days at Thammasat’s Sri Burapha Auditorium, at an exhibition organised by Museum of 6 October. This year, the exhibition is being restaged at the same venue, from 1st to 11th October.
The exhibition, retitled แขวน 6 ตุลา on Site Museum หลักฐาน + ข้อเท็จจริง + พื้นที่ + เทคโนโลยี (‘hanging 6th Oct. on-site museum: evidence + facts + place + technology’) includes a complete reproduction of the infamous 6th October 1976 Dao Siam (ดาวสยาม) front page that precipitated the massacre, the first time that the entire page has been shown at Thammasat. Four short documentaries will be screened on a loop at the exhibition: The Two Brothers (สองพี่น้อง), Respectfully Yours (ดวยความนบถอ), 6 October 1976: Space of Violence (6 ตุลาคม 2519: พื้นที่ของความรุนแรง), and Silenced Memories (ความทรงจ ไรเสยง). The Two Brothers and Silenced Memories will also be shown on 6th October on a larger screen.
