Tangmo, Ladapha Sophonkunkit (1991) was born and raised in Bangkok, Thailand, and is currently based in Vantaa, Finland. As a Thai performance artist and producer, Tangmo works between Thailand and Finland, blending cultural influences in her art. Her practice focuses on re-remembering the past while reimagining possible futures, using performance as a medium to engage audiences in a dialogue about identity, memory, and positionality. Tangmo is continually researching and developing new ways to work with memory as a medium in her performances.
Tangmo's work often invites participants to reflect on their own experiences and perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities of contemporary life. By weaving together personal narratives with broader societal themes, she challenges viewers to reconsider their connections to history and envision new possibilities for the future. Her recent works have been presented at the Bangkok Experimental Film Festival (TH, 2025), the 100Tonson Foundation (TH, 2025), and One-Day Stand No.1 for Myyrmäki Arts Night (FI, 2024). Tangmo holds an MA in Live Art and Performance Studies from the University of the Arts Helsinki (FI, 2024).
