Died On 6th October 1976

The group exhibition Flashback '76 commemorates the 1976 Thammasat University massacre. The exhibition includes Manit Sriwanichpoom's photo series Died On 6th October 1976; Manit soaked autopsy photographs of the victims of the massacre in blood, and the red images reinforce the violence of the event.

The 1976 massacre was also the subject of Manit's Horror In Pink series, shown at From Message To Media; incredibly, despite photographic evidence to the contrary, Thai Prime Minister Samak claimed that only a single person died in the massacre.

Flashback '76, at the Pridi Banomyong Institute in Bangkok, opened on 2nd August, and will close on Saturday.
