'This booklet documents the activities, research, and interviews conducted by Thai artist Atikom Mukdaprakorn and curator Penwadee Nophaket Manont during their AIT (Arts Initiative Tokyo) residency program in Tokyo that began in February 2016.

The title "BLANK/TENSION" represents the circumstances in which some Thai creators are finding themselves today. Ever since the military coup d'etat in 2006, the two, along with other artists and creators, have been looking for ways to confront and contemplate the stifling status quo. During their residency, they met up with many artists and activists, building a network and gathering information.'
