My first 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 lost in 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 – many artists living there as well. 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 peers and huge excitement to be in an event in my new (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.
