Rediscovering Forgotten Thai Masters of Photography is an exhibition curated by renowned photographer Manit Sriwanichpoom, who, as a photography lecturer, was initially unable to find photographic works by Thai artists for his students to learn from. Thus, the search for the forgotten masterpieces began back in 2011.

This current exhibition contains the work of seven Thai masters of photography: Buddhadasa Bhikku (1906-1993), Mom Luang Toy Xoomsai (1906-1961), Liang Ewe (1911-1992), Saengjun Limlohakul (1924-1997), S.H. Lim (1930-present), Rong Wong-savun (1932-2009) and Pornsak Sakdaenprai (1938-present). Here's a sneak peek:
