Sugar Loafing Arts Cast 29-08-2020 Sorawit Songsataya Rumours (Mermaid)( 0:40:29)
Episode Information
"A human being - in the past - would be represented through a male, European figure. But the field of thought around the non-human often explores what else that human could be. These also include marginalised groups - women, queer people, people of colour, but also extended further, to include animals, plants, river… that’s why I chose the mermaid."
