The Mekong River has dropped to worrying levels, which is why "The Mekong Is Blue And Dried" photo exhibition might inspire the public to take the issue more seriously. It will kick off tomorrow March 16 and run until March 28 at Corner Space, 1st floor of Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, Pathumwan intersection.
Organised by SEA Junctions in collaboration with Bangkok Tribune, Thai Society of Environmental Journalists and Samdhana Institute, the exhibition features a selection of photographs and artwork that shows the environmental degradation of the river, destruction caused by dams and development, the impact on people and communities, and movements by civil groups on the issue.
