Having to work on an exhibition about children without any children on the project team, we reminisced about our own childhood experiences. Although we grew up in a similar cultural context, each team member experienced childhood in their own way. With this in mind, while the exhibition’s core statement is anchored by the idea of rethinking social norms toward raising our children in an increasingly globalized world, it is also essential that everyone has the opportunity to contribute to its content, as the experience of growing up is firsthand for all.

This exhibition consists of three main sections:

  • Children’s Day mottos traditionally given by Thai prime ministers, engraved onto plywood panels.
  • Curated quotes about children from both Thai and foreign literature.
  • An interactive platform for visitors to share their thoughts and opinions.
