Nontawat’s screening lecture with an excerpt from his research for DOI BOY. This another side project is called No boys Land.

The exhibition2 or 3 Tigers, which will be accompanied by the public program Flights from the Empire, taking place on June 17th and 18th, 2017. The program is co-curated by Anselm Franke, Hyunjin Kim and David Teh.

The contributions of the program will explore the strategies of resistance against imperial and national structures in Asia while expounding on the genesis of state structures, national borders and capitalist economies and their relationship with indigenous cultures and identity constructs. The weekend takes its cue from James C. Scott’s book The Art of Not Being Governed, which focuses on the historically instable rule of nation states and empires in highlands of mainland Southeast Asia. Following a keynote by James C. Scott, we want to explore the ambiguous role of imperialism, statehood in relation to minorities, as well as various historical and contemporary strategies of evasion and “flight from empire”.
