Defrosting Thai Culture: Intersections of Decolonial and New Media Practices in the Theater

UN.THAI.TLED

Watch the recording

un.thai.tled is a collective that brings together artists and creatives from Thailand and those with a Thai diasporic background. The collective curates cinema and cultural events in which stereotypes concerning Thailand and Southeast Asia are broken. They will speak about how they use new media technologies in their theatrical work "Defrost" to translate already rigid colonial forms of Southeast Asian storytelling into the “new” possible contemporary. un.thai.tled asks: how can this translation into an international context take place without reproducing cultural self-exoticism?
