This exhibition honors the literary legacy of Kularb Saipradith, widely known by his pen name, Sriburapha, a distinguished Thai novelist, journalist, and human rights advocate. The title of the exhibition, Khapachao Dai Hen Ma (The World I Have Seen), is taken from his 1951 book and reflects his wisdom regarding society and the world.

The World I Have Seen: The World of Sriburapha's Novels is organized into two key sections, each focusing on a pivotal phase of his life. The first covers his early years and his professional growth as a writer and editor. The second explores the evolution of his worldview following his time living in Australia.

Throughout the exhibition, selected quotes from Sriburapha's novels and essays are presented chronologically across twenty-eight canvas panels. Each quote is paired with a description of the life events occurring around the time of its writing, inviting the audience to delve into his literary world while offering insight into the influences that shaped his thinking.

Visit to the Sriburapha House Museum:
Our studio highly values the experience of working on this project. We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Sriburapha scholars and archivists to research and gather archival copies and photographs of artifacts with significant historical value for the exhibition. Visiting the Sriburapha House Museum in Soi Pranang deepened our understanding of his impact on Thai literature and society, enriching our approach to honoring his legacy.
