In some countries, there would not be any problem with art showing French revolutionaries replaced with cartoon cats and birds. But it may be a sensitive subject for Thailand's monarchy. For artist Yuree Kensaku, the country’s political situation shapes her work. Protesters in Thailand are calling for reform of the monarchy and other changes. "People have started their political awakening," said Kensaku. The Bangkok Art Biennale is now showing her latest artwork. It combines the influences of her Thai background with her experience making art in La Rochelle, France. There, historical works of art showing times of revolution gave her the ideas she uses now.
