Curator: Kittima Chareeprasit
Exhibition period: 10th July - 30th November 2026
At MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum, Chiang Mai, Thailand
MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum joins in commemorating the 50th anniversary of the October 6, 1976 event, or the Thammasat University massacre, with the exhibition October 6th: a reconfigured archive. This exhibition takes viewers back to explore historical wounds—from both personal and collective memories of Thai society—through the works of artists who shared the experience of the event, as well as contemporary artists who revisit and question a history that remains unresolved to this day.
This exhibition would not have been possible without the generosity and support of Sinsawat Yodbangtoey, the 14 October Foundation, House of Upa-In, Professor Kamol Phaosavasdi, the Documentation of Oct 6 Project, as well as those who have continuously researched this event. We believe that remembering traumatic history is not the duty of any single individual, but the shared responsibility of everyone.
