Red Earth and Green Papaya

Somtum', the tastiest queen of all dishes, bears no restrictions on the ingredients and condiments. There is no right or wrong for what you would add to your mortar, no fixed spice levels or how rich it could be. The dish will not cease to challenge your taste buds whenever or wherever you make it. Somtum has permeated its freshness and heat from Isan to different parts of Thailand and around the world.

What is there in Isan? How could it deliver such incredible flavor?

‘RED EARTH AND GREEN PAPAYA’ is a scrumptious exhibition by Nino Sarabutra. The chic artist will retell the story of this soft power from Isan through her installation and mixed media art that still maintains her identity by asking and provoking the audience to think.
