INTRANSIT 2026 by Stephen Eastaugh

During his residency and working period at MATDOT Art Center, the artist documented Bangkok through the eyes of a “farang” who has fallen deeply for the city — from its beautifully chaotic atmosphere, extraordinary Thai food, and warm-hearted people, to the creative energy that continues to draw him back time and time again.

This reflection also offers a glimpse into life and work inside MATDOT: the making of new artworks, experiments in the studio, conversations with students and fellow artists, and the small everyday moments unfolding between cafés, workspaces, and the old quarters of Bangkok.

What began as a plan to write a collection of short stories unexpectedly evolved into the creation of new works on paper, while also becoming a meditation on Bangkok itself — a city that is hot, humid, noisy, sticky, and yet strangely unforgettable.

We invite you to read this personal account of travel, art-making, and residency life — a story filled with observations on art, people, culture, and the many moments that took place within MATDOT through the perspective of an international artist returning once again to captivating Bangkok.

Visual Storytelling in Art Books
Workshop with Amritah Sen
26 May 2026 | 13:30 – 16:30

Limited to 20 seats only.
Advance registration required.

MATDOT Art Center and Centre for Bharat Studies, Mahidol University invites you to join an Artist Book Workshop led by Amritah Sen, a contemporary artist from Kolkata, India, whose practice is deeply engaged with storytelling, memory, and the histories of people across South Asia.

Through her research-based artistic practice rooted in the context of Bengal, and her participation in artist residencies across countries such as Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan, Amritah has developed an approach that draws on personal narratives and micro-histories as key materials in her work—particularly in the form of artist books.

This workshop offers participants the opportunity to explore the artist’s working process by engaging with their own memories, stories, and everyday experiences, transforming them into handmade artist books. Participants will experiment with a range of techniques, including drawing, text, collage, and found materials.

The session introduces an artistic research approach that integrates storytelling with image-making, encouraging participants to understand how a “book” can function as a space for documentation, inquiry, and the re-interpretation of personal experience.

This workshop is open to artists, students and anyone interested.
No prior experience in art or bookmaking is required.
