Connec…t

2023​

"Connec...t" is a captivating and innovative multidisciplinary art piece ​that challenges the traditional modes of communication and belief ​formation. It explores the profound themes of belief, communication, ​and the path to enlightenment, drawing inspiration from the Kalama ​Sutta, a foundational Buddhist text that emphasizes critical thinking ​and discernment. This immersive performance piece unfolds ​through a dynamic collaboration among three diverse artists, each ​with a unique role:

1.The First Artist: Silent Communication

Role: Conveys the Kalama Sutta through non-verbal cues.

2.The Second Artist: Transforming Vision into Words

Role: Translates the first artist's message into words.

3. The Third Artist: Blind Creation

Role: Paints on a canvas based on instructions from the second artist.

The collaborative performance takes place in real-time, with all three artists working in the same space. The intricate and evolving communication ​between them is captured in a 57-minute video installation, allowing viewers to experience and interpret the evolving artistic dialogue.

There is a saying that claims that because people think about death, this sets them apart from ​animals, who are also mortal but have no awareness of it. But do animals really not comprehend ​that they will eventually die? Humans seem to have the least understanding of the relationships ​between life and death and between themselves and nature. Others who are mortal simply ​accept their mortality and merge with it as much as they can. Having no fear of what awaits them ​after death, and no type of God to hold onto. Don't you think that kind of death is the most ​beautiful? I completely agree that people is different from animal, and that mankind should learn ​from them.

Since more than 200 years ago, Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem has maintained close links ​with the Nang Loeng community. Which to go down to explore sounds like a daunting ​endeavor, but there is one thing we can bring up without spending much money, that is ​steel. The community can easily become involved, and the outcomes are thrilling and ​unexpected. It can be removed from the water by dropping a big magnet into it like fishing. ​These metals that we collected will be used to create a community sculpture that will ​commemorate our relationship with the river and the community as a whole.

The importance of this piece is not in the work itself, but rather in its role in accumulating the elements ​needed to create a piece.

Each object brings back memories of the team's conversations with community members that became ​more personal over time, including the community's involvement in weaving and knitting classes before it ​developed a trust to share private items to contribute to the work alongside items gathered in the ​neighborhood on neighborhood walks with kids, scraps from neighborhood shops, and household waste.

The importance of this piece is not in the work itself, ​but rather in its role in accumulating the elements ​needed to create a piece.

Each object brings back memories of the team's ​conversations with community members that ​became more personal over time, including the ​community's involvement in weaving and knitting ​classes before it developed a trust to share private ​items to contribute to the work alongside items ​gathered in the neighborhood on neighborhood ​walks with kids, scraps from neighborhood shops, ​and household waste.

Concentration is necessary for weaving, which at that precise moment causes us to reflect on ​who we are and how our lives have turned out. That consequently motivated me to collaborate ​with local artisans to produce works of art using recycled materials.

The interaction between the artist and the community is depicted in this work of art, which was ​inspired by mood trackers and upcycled weaving for a community project.

The techniques used in this work of art include weaving, fusing, latch hook, hand-tufting, knitting, ​embroidery, and crochet.

We are all anxiously looking for roots and reestablishing connections to the environment as a ​result of the pandemic. You must get active in order to accomplish this. “Studio UpCircle" was ​established in 2019 by a group of artists, designers, and social workers who saw an opportunity ​to protect the environment by upcycling while also improving the lives of those in the community, ​particularly in slum areas where job opportunities are scarce (due to educational limitations and ​social status), leading to poor quality of life and low income that are the foundations of many ​social problems. Through artistic techniques including mixed media and weaving, we develop a ​resourceful method of waste management by upcycling waste materials that we and members of ​the community find on the streets, in the river, and in garbage heaps.

Being an introvert in a big city and having to deal with lots of people at work every day drains ​my energy a lot. I yearn to be in nature, but as a city person, all I can do is spend my alone time ​in solidarity and make an effort to connect with the rich spiritual ecosystem of my city and ​harness the energizing energy coursing through it to soothe my weary soul.

I feel cut off from everyone around me since I always perceive and experience things ​differently, like my alone time more than social gatherings, prefer animals to people, and have a ​spiritual connection to all living things, both mortal and immortal. If I had been born 500 years ​earlier, people would have thought I was a witch.

But if being a witch means honoring the natural world and feeling how its cycles mirror those in ​our bodies, if doing so strengthens people's bonds with the environment, one another, and—​perhaps most importantly—with themselves, then I would choose to be one.

There are many different food cultures throughout the world. Even among people with comparable cultural ​backgrounds, eating habits differ; stories, contents, raw material sources, cooking styles, and methods of ​preparation vary by region, highlighting the distinctiveness of that particular locale. The most basic way that ​people can relate to themselves, space complexity, community identification, family identity, self identity, ​relationships with society, and interactions with the rest of the world is through food.

This project has numerous cultural and cross-cultural components, including history, identity, sustainability, ​and intercultural connections, with food serving as the link that unites us all and possibly having a minor ​impact on social issues at the local, national, and international levels.

Immigrant children are rarely heard in the news or academic texts. Their entire lives are quickly ​reduced to a single data point or invalidated and contested by adults. To address this, we started a ​project where children lead the interactions and choose what they want to discuss. We aim to ​present kids as strong, active observers of their environment. Their stories offer windows into their ​realities, not just to please academic audiences. Therefore, it is crucial to include many forms of ​expression, such as sculpture, conversation, stop motion, drawings, and storytelling.

Goodbye Message

from Tamarind Tree

When common people realize the significance of trees being cut ​down. For more than 20 years, this tamarind tree had been ​standing tall to shield children's play places and animals from ​motorists, for the villagers to enjoy time together in its shade, and ​for a relatively small number of additional purposes for community ​members. People who were able to "hear" the "Goodbye Message ​from the Tamarind tree" responded to its final message "FREE ​HUG" and then visited to give and receive the goodbye hug in ​early July 2012, when the Tamarind tree was set to be cut down ​and would be replaced by a parking area for around half-a-car.

Spiritual wellbeing is all about our "spirit," the part of ourselves that gives us ​our zest for life, playfulness, and passion. In order to retain our ties to one ​another, the world around us, and whatever universal energy may exist, this ​project encouraged people to connect their own spirits with the spirits of the ​places they live in. Being "in the flow" of what is happening to us eliminates ​the need for effort and struggle.

A slum neighborhood in Nang Loeng named Soonthorn Dhammathan joined Baan Mankong in ​2006, a government-sponsored program for slum upgrading run by the Community Organization ​Development Institute. The landlord in Nang Loeng, in contrast to the majority of other projects, ​refused to participate in the program, and as a result, residents were unable to secure their tenure ​from him in 2011. Furthermore, the Crown Property Bureau—not an ordinary landlord—is the ​subject of this discussion. This is where art comes into play to fight the unjust leasé majesté law, ​which forbids criticism. In these situations, we turn to what we do best—art—and let it speak for us.

People who live in a society with stratified social strata experience social alienation from components of their ​human nature. What ought to today's youth in slums do with their lives? Clearly, there are many things. The ​most audacious endeavor, however, is to establish stable communities where the dreadful sickness of ​loneliness can be treated. They don't have to keep their loneliness to themselves since I've given them a ​place. Ironically, we can all identify to it because we have all gone through it. The wall of loneliness will have ​no choice but to fall away if they can discover ways to get back in touch with nature and truly interact with ​their friends and community.

E-learng is a project that invited 7 artists to produce experimental short documentaries on anything ​about Nangloeng community. After a year of production, the project screened all 7 shorts at the ​Chalermthani cinema, a cinema situated at the heart of Nangloeng's community which for the past ​years have survived the officials' endeavors to demolish and transform it into an empty parking lot. ​The officials cited that with sheer expansive space that the parking lot could potentially provide, the ​space could generate more profit and jobs to the community itself.
