The Idea Behind

The 7th Bangkok Art Book Fair is themed ‘You Can Sit With Us,’ recognizing that art books and independent publications are more than just print—they are spaces of gathering, exchange, and shared experience.

This year, BKKABF warmly welcomes guest curator Belle Phromchanya to the table, who has shaped the theme as an open invitation to connect. An artist, designer, facilitator, and lecturer at Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, Belle is also a co-founder of NON NATIVE NATIVE, a cultural platform exploring Asian diaspora narratives in Europe. Drawing from her experience in organizing cultural events, she envisions BKKABF as a space where publishing becomes a point of connection; carrying our curiosity, creativity, and knowledge.

Join us December 5–7 at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) to explore publications by 126 exhibitors from 25 countries, along with a variety of activities over three days.

See you there!
