After its launch in Bangkok last year, and subsequent events in Khon Kaen and Phayao earlier this year, the Thailand Postlitical Fiction exhibition will take place at Srinakharinwiwot University from today until 2nd September. (The exhibition’s dates were originally advertised as 1st–5th September.) SWU Through Poster features poster designs for imaginary movies commenting on Thai politics, including some new submissions.
Marisa Nagaoka’s poster 2553 shows a red chess piece defeated by a yellow one, symbolising the massacre of red-shirt protesters in 2010. (2553 in the Buddhist Era calendar is equivalent to 2010.) Natcha Threekul’s poster Who Put That Bullet In Their Hand? superimposes a large bullet over a photograph of the 6th October 1976 massacre at Thammasat University. Both posters address the issue of who is culpable for the violence committed.
