From comic strips to animation, Snoopy has trotted his way into the hearts of millions to become the world’s most famous beagle. For more than seven decades, this daydreaming pup and his gang have made people smile across generations and Thailand is no exception. This year, as Peanuts turns 75, the nation joins the festivities with How Do You Do, Snoopy? 75 Years: A Journey of Friendship Through Art.
Taking place from September 6-December 7, River City Bangkok will wag its tail with a Snoopy showcase. Four immersive zones will display original works by 25 artists and creative designs from 24 leading fashion brands. There are also more than 50 archival treasures from classic comic strips to beloved animated moments, giving Thai fans an unprecedented deep dive into the character’s world.
And to mark its debut, the exhibition will also exhibit works by 10 local artists, including 2Choey, Mackcha and Munins, who bring the world of Peanuts to life in all sorts of playful and surprising ways, including paintings and sculptures.
But it’s not just about looking. A whole lineup of fun activities and interactive experiences await visitors. At the press conference, River City Bangkok surprised everyone with a giant Snoopy balloon floating into the venue on a boat, hinting that there’s more to come.
This year, Thailand has witnessed a variety of international exhibitions, such as Japanese animation and large-scale installations. However, what makes this one different is how it brings together Thai and international artists to interpret the Peanuts story. Each artist offers their perspective, giving visitors the chance to see familiar faces like Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the gang in new and unexpected ways.
After all, when it comes to art, Bangkok continues to show that it’s a city where creativity and imagination thrive.
