The exhibition Dr. Puey Ungphakorn: A Chronicle of Hope from Womb to Tomb honors the centennial of Dr. Puey Ungphakorn’s birth. It revisits his vision for fundamental human rights in Thai society as laid out in his seminal 1980 writing, "The Quality of Life of a Southeast Asian: A Chronicle of Hope from Womb to Tomb." Coinciding with a period of military control in Thailand, resulting from its 13th coup d'état in 2014, this exhibition serves not only as a commemoration but also as a forum for citizens to express their hopes and concerns. In line with Dr. Ungphakorn's advocacy, we believe that it is essential that freedom of expression is cherished, protected, and practiced responsibly in any modern society.
