BUKRUK II Urban arts festival is a 10-day project featuring not only public wall paintings, but also art exhibitions, artist talks, animation night and three stages music open-air festival, visual happenings, mapping projections and workshops.

A Stronger visual identity

The general atmosphere of this new edition of BUKRUK will be imprinted by the bizarre, the uncanny and the surreal. More transversal activities will be proposed: A one of a kind music festival will officially launch Bukruk II, with bands and DJs from Europe and Asia, food and design market, mapping/ video projections. Each artist’s personal work will be presented in solo or duo exhibitions, in over 10 gallery partner spaces.

More Countries involved

BUKRUK 2013 was the Thai-Europe connection; BUKRUK 2016 will be the Asia-Europe connection. For this present edition, we focused on a selection of emerging and established Asian and European artists who are becoming more and more eloquent and original on the international level.

A wider range of activities and events

PUBLIC WALL ART / 3 STAGES MUSIC FESTIVAL / PERSONAL EXHIBITIONS / MOBILE PRINT SHOP / ARTIST TALKS / WORKSHOPS / CLOSING PARTY

New Location

All exhibitions, walls and activities will be set in the riverside, Bang Rak/Klong San. We hope the public artworks will help breathe new life into Bangkok and attract international attention to one of its richest and nevertheless neglected historic center.

By creating this open-air museum, we will design a map connecting not only the painted walls but also the historical buildings and art spaces scattered in the area. By working with the local communities, Talad Noi association and the River creative district project we hope this edition of Bukruk can help elevate the awareness towards the importance of art and creativity within a given neighborhood and community.
