BAG member Marit Tunestveit Dyre are in Thailand taking part in “It`s Personal” a Performance Art Exchange event which brings together eight female artists from Norway and Thailand to collaborate, focusing on their individual personal issues.
The artists will meet up in Chiang Khong (Chiang Rai) a small town at the border between Thailand and Lao, beside Mae Kong river.
