About the founder

Virinsire Chomchey is a queer feminist artist, activist, and curator whose work explores the intersection of emotional, mental, and spiritual states with the complex social and political conditions of Thailand. Her art delves into themes of rights, politics, gender, and cultural belief systems, particularly examining how Buddhism, folk beliefs, animism, and spiritual practices shape individual and collective identities within Thai society.

Her work focuses on bringing attention to crucial social issues, including gender equality, political struggles, and the balance between tradition and modernization. By working closely with activists and communities, she seeks to create space for dialogue that challenges existing belief systems and power structures. Her work uses modern media technologies to amplify these themes, blending storytelling, philosophy, and visual narratives to invite viewers to reconsider their relationships with societal frameworks.

She is involved in the feminist movement, especially in advocating for gender equality and supporting lesbian communities, is a key driving force behind her art. Virinsire has worked alongside Thai and Burmese artists in political contexts, continually asking questions about the causes of social issues, how they can be addressed, and how her art can be a vehicle for communicating these stories to a broader audience.

In summary, Virinsire Chomchey is an artist who not only creates visual art but also seeks to foster understanding, resilience, and transformation through her work, which reflects both personal and political narratives within a rapidly changing cultural landscape.
