Female inequality and shaming is the subject matter of the Som Ying exhibition, which is running at Sathorn 11 art space until Jan 31.
Literally meaning a lady in Thai society , Som Ying was a typical name given to Thai women in the past. However, looking at this from another angle, their femininity has long been treated with discrimination and, in many cases, has been open to exploitation.
In this exhibition, three artists Theerapong Kamolpus, Napat Pattaraponlerd and Sirirath Chumyen present their perspectives on the problem of inequality in our society that is directly associated with femininity through oil-on-canvas paintings.

Aside from eating out at cafes or restaurants (only until 9pm, though!), there might not be much to do in Bangkok right now. But the show goes on in the art world. Here are seven cool exhibitions you can check out right now, or later with social distancing taken into account, of course.
The Museum of Digital Art, or MODA, at River City Bangkok lets you immerse yourself in the life of the world’s most famous impressionists, such as Eduard Manet, Auguste Renoir, Vincent Van Gogh, and Claude Monet. The exhibition includes panels that tell the story of the artists and the period, recreations of 19th century Paris street life and café culture, reproductions of each artist’s most famous works, and visual projections displayed alongside evocative music.
