From Sept 22 until Oct 23 at the William Warren Library, The Jim Thompson Art Center will host "Timirbhu: The New World Order", an exhibition by Nakrob Moonmanas. The opening day will include the panel discussion "Literature / Digital / Art: Connected Borders?".
Organised by the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts Multidisciplinary Art Innovation Center, and Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Chulalongkorn University, "Timirbhu: The New World Order" is an exhibition about Thai Literature or Traibhumikatha, a story of the three planes of existence, written by Phraya Lithai of Sukhothai (Maha Thammaracha I). This text from the Sukhothai period portrays Buddhist cosmology consisting of different realms, including heaven and hell, and the story of the birth and the fall of humankind. Nakrob Moonmanas created the artworks with inspiration to connect the void between literature and technology, the distant past and the contemporary world.
