The Bangkok Art Biennale 2020 festival, or BAB2020, was more successful than expected despite the Covid-19 crisis gripping the world and the political conflict in Thailand last year, Apinan Poshyananda, the artistic director of the event, told the media on Wednesday.

Bangkok Art Biennale 2020 (BAB20) is set to give Thailand's art scene a shot in the arm with a line-up of 82 world-renowned artists, and over 200 artworks on display at nine landmarks in the heart of the capital.
