This publication coincides with an exhibition of Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook's work titled 'Storytellers of the Town', curated by John Clark and Clare Veal (4A Centre for Contemporary Visual Art, 14 March–10 May 2014; ANU Drill Hall Gallery, 4 July–10 August 2014). Illustrating her impact on the discourses around installation and video art in Thailand and beyond, it presents key moments in her development. Early prints, installations, and other works previously not shown outside of Thailand are shown alongside her later works. Layered with political, social and cultural contexts and closely related to her personal experience as a Thai woman and artist, her body of work has involved human corpses, rural villagers, women in mental institutions, and stray dogs. Her works guide viewers to interrogate social and cultural norms yet are imbued with a great sense of humanity.

With writings by the curators and Thai researcher Judha Su, as well as an interview with the artist first published in 2007. Includes the artist's chronology, bibliography, contributors' biographies and list of works across the two exhibition venues.
