ที่มา/ความสำคัญโครงการ :

112-community art centre is a community art centre, where amateur artists can organize exhibitions, and youth and other people can join activities and workshops.112 art centre is also aimed at participating of community, exchanging attitudes and cultures, and supporting That artists and Thai young artists.

I am "Wattanai Chanakot" and I studied public arts. I believe that arts can create conversation we need and can bring people to join. I have lived in Ladprao 112 because my aunt Nattanun Chanakot has opened a small restaurant in soi Ladprao 112. I know several children and people in this area and find them interesting because people living here came from different backgrounds and cultures. There are also many people from Isarn working in Bangkok, students from south of Thailand studying at Ramkhamhaeng University, American people teaching English, Cameroonian footballers, and Muslim Families.

But people in this community do not have a chance to use arts because they work all day long and do not have time. In addition, other art centres are located too far from where they live, and the arts itself is hard to understand.

“I think we should have a community art centre in soi Ladprao 112, accessible and supporting people to participate and share ideas. I already asked my aunt (she said yes) to use some space of his restaurant to organize an exhibition because this restaurant is a meeting point in this community. We want to use arts to ignite conversation and create more areas for exchanging among people in this community because everyone has interesting ideas, beliefs and attitudes.

“I want to run a 112 art centre as an area for exhibitions and other activities such as free classic movie screenings which we can talk, analyze, criticize, and have a workshop. The first event that will take place is a photography and video workshop, and we will invite some experts to join and share their professional skills with other people."

This art centre will not only encourage people to understand and fascinate to arts but also create a common ground among people having different backgrounds.
