A Bangkok exhibition exploring state violence and resistance, which included artists from Tibet and Hong Kong, was altered under pressure from officials at the Chinese Embassy in Thailand. In an email sent to the artists, the curators of the exhibition said the show was modified to protect diplomatic relations between China and Thailand. Some of the censored works reference China’s treatment of Uyghurs and other primarily Muslim ethnic groups. After officials from the Chinese Embassy and Thai police visited the Bangkok Art and Culture Center, the curators fled the country.
