Join us for a walkthrough of Déjà vu: Buddha is Hiding with artist Natee Utarit and curator John Tung. In this tour, they will shed light on Utarit’s STPI project, a conclusion of his 5-year-long ‘Déjà vu’ series.
The series is based on Utarit’s own speculations of Buddha’s hypothetical journey to the West to encounter Greco-Roman culture as well as other Eastern and Western symbols, presenting an urgent investigation into preconceived notions of the East and the West.
The artist and the curator will also conduct a deep dive into selected works in the show. Sign up now to hear first-hand insights from them!

Modern screenprinting methods meet traditional etching techniques in this beginner-friendly workshop!
This workshop will introduce you to three printmaking techniques: screenprinting, intaglio and relief printing, reflecting the artistic processes Natee Utarit engaged with during his residency at our Creative Workshop.
Firstly, you will learn how to prepare screens, using emulsion and light to create your designs. You will use this screen to transfer your designs onto copper plates, which will then be acid-etched to create debossed stencils. Finally, you will use relief printing to print your designs onto paper.
Participants are kindly requested to prepare a simple A7-sized line sketch for this workshop.
