“The Mekong is Blue and Dried” exhibition is born out of concern for the environmental degradation of the Mekong River. Since late 2019, also currently, the Mekong has turned into rare blue color instead of its usual brown. The blue color reflects “dead” for animals that dwell in the Mekong riverbank and millions of people who depend for their livelihood on the biodiversity of the River. Meanwhile, the networks of environmental experts, civil society, media and academia tirelessly continue to advocate for environmental and social measures for the Mekong River. Aiming to contribute to these efforts, in times that the Mekong has just dropped to worrying levels, we hope that the issue is brought into wider attention through this 2-week long exhibition held by SEA Junction in partnership with Bangkok Tribune News Agency and Thai Society of Environmental Journalists and with support from Samdhana Institute.
 
The exhibition will be launched with an opening talk (in English) on 16 March 2021, 5:30 – 7:00 pm and also accompanied with the Media Talk (in Thai) on 20 March 2021, 1:00 – 2:30 pm at Corner Space, 1st Floor, BACC where the exhibition is held.
