THE WAEW FOOD PROGRAMME: FEEDING THE ALIEN THAI-NESS


TYPE
Interview

DATE
June 2019 

PLACE
Eindhoven



What do you think of when you think of Thailand? In this interview, Waew (Jeeraphat Voraphotmuangman) speaks about the Waew Food Programme, an alternative economic model, and her creative pathway and personal questions which touch upon larger societal subjects such as politics, migration and cultural differences.

When Waew is in Thailand, she works as a project manager, but when she is in The Netherlands, she is a Thai food performer. She is keen on presenting the “Thainess” to her audience through food and symbols. She aspires to use the idea of food as a base to create challenging large-scale art installations and art performances.
