My first event participation in Bangkok will be in one of the biggest venues that is home to visual arts! Before moving to Thailand, I was looking into what’s available and remember feeling overwhelmed with the opportunities. I had a vague memory of reading about Mango Art Festival but when we visited Chiang Mai in December and attending the festival over there, I was literally blown away with the art scene and how big the event was. I took a chance and applied with a delay for the upcoming festival in May; and got accepted! Such a relief of finding a way to connect with my peers and huge excitement to be in an festival in my new (but soon-to-be-old) home! Definitely will be one of the greatest memories!! Come and visit me at the Newcomer Zone booth # N72 at River City – 7-11 May.
