Sawadee, Bangkok. BUTT touches down with deliberate timing. The city, already fluent in desire, hosts a two-part gathering that leans playful, sharp and slightly unbuttoned. The first stop is Bangkok Kunsthalle, where the magazine shows itself through a run of queer short films, loose conversations and drinks that encourage staying longer than planned. Think flirting as a cultural practice rather than a theme. The evening then slips across town to HORN for a club night that stretches past common sense. Alongside it all runs a focus on Bangkok as seen by artist Oat Montien. Raised alongside sex workers, the Krung Thep native films the city’s queer underside with colour, humour and unease. One of his videos screens at Bangkok Kunsthalle, offering a view of Bangkok that feels intimate, messy and very much alive.
December 18. Free. Register via here. Bangkok Kunsthalle, 6.30pm-8pm
