A two-day exhibition, Beyond the Headlines: The Risks of Reporting Protests in Thailand, was held at 1559 Space in Bangkok on 30th April and 1st May. The exhibition focused on the dangers journalists faced while covering the anti-government student protests that took place between 2020 and 2022, and included photographs of the protests. A short documentary on press coverage of the 16th October 2020 protest at Siam Square, ‘Watch’dog: ส่องสื่อผ่านสายตานักศึกษาในเหตุการณ์ 16 ตุลาฯ, was screened on both days.
An expanded version of the exhibition opened yesterday at the same venue, and runs until 20th September. The new exhibition, with a slightly revised subtitle—The Challenges of Reporting Protests in Thailand—includes coverage of ‘Black May’ 1992 and the red-shirt and yellow-shirt rallies, in addition to the anti-government student protests. Exhibits include back issues of the Bangkok Post newspaper.
