Resources
Under the scattered costumes and amongst the broken props, we have a treasure trove of resources, wonderfully archived by our treasure, Tae (Documentation Officer). A visit to the Makhampom House in Bangkok offers a chance to browse through photo albums and viewing some of our performance and project videos. Read on for details of some of the online resources produced about Makhampom, multimedia documentation that can be borrowed or purchased, some of the recent publications for purchase or download, and a list of recommended reading from our bookshelves.
