“To me, art is always political. One way or another, whether or not you, as an artist, you think it or not. It doesn’t matter. To me, it’s always political. Because, if everything’s already good, why make art?”

– Taweesak Molsawat | a social, cultural, political critic.

The human body is about politics. You make art to express something
