Nuttamon Pramsumran (1993, Samut Sakhon, Thailand)

She holds a B.A. in Dramatic Arts from Chulalongkorn University (2016) and an M.F.A. in Art Theory from Silpakorn University (2019). A firm believer in the power of words and dialogue in art, Nuttamon writes dialogue-driven short stories and plays that explore themes of feminism, capitalism, and memory.

She was invited to TPAM 2020 (Yokohama, Japan) and joined HEKTOMERON project (Craiova, Romania) in 2021 as presenter of Thailand. Her works include the short story collection “Abstract Bar” (P.S.
