Artist Residency Opportunity in Thailand
“Gender – Fluid: Evolving Identities” is an open-ended theme residency that encourages artists to delve into the multifaceted nature of gender. Creatives are encouraged to examine how gender is perceived, experienced, and expressed in our society. This residency seeks to foster a dialogue on topics such as identity, self-expression, societal expectations, and the intersectionality of gender with other aspects of our lives.
As part of this artist residency Studio 88 is collaborating with local director, actor and dancer Thanupon Yindee (Golf). Golf is a driving force behind Makhampom Theatre Group, a community theatre group in northern Thailand. He has worked on community theatre to raise awareness of children’s rights, to address stateless and ethnic minority rights in Northern Thailand and he has collaborated on international projects to produce contemporary circus and theatre. Golf is also an active member of the LGBTQIA+ community in Chiangmai.
During this residency Golf will lead a sharing session in the Studio 88 space. This session is not just for performing artists, but rather it is designed as a cross-disciplinary, sharing space, to explore issues of community and gender in the Thai context and beyond.
Additionally, in May 2024 Golf is organising a Gender Festival and from the beginning of June it is Pride Month in Chaingmai. For those who are interested we will introduce you to Gender Festival and Pride Month activities.
