When Thai curator Gridthiya Gaweewong leads you on this latest Ilham Gallery exhibition tour about contemporary art in Patani, one of the southern provinces of Thailand, she starts from the far right of the gallery. In this corner of the room, bright colours and people going about their day leap out at you from the elaborate paintings by Thai artists Jehabdulloh Jehsorhoh and Sirichai Pummak.
It is a multicultural narrative in these two works; the fusing of Thai and Malay culture in one, and the peaceful co-existence of Thai Buddhists, Malay Muslims and Chinese descendants in the other.
