Working on an exhibition about children, we found ourselves reminiscing about our own childhoods. Although we grew up in a similar cultural context, each of us experienced childhood differently. With this in mind, while the exhibition’s core message centers on rethinking the social norms that influence how we raise our children in an increasingly globalized world, it is also equally important that everyone has the opportunity to contribute their own perspectives, 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.
