• Project Introduction by Associate Professor Dr. Juthamas Tangsantikul and Associate Professor Nigel Power, Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University


• Project Presentation & Exhibition Walk-through by the Students of CommDe


• Open Discussion with the artists: Phaptawan Suwannakudt and Samak Kosem

Taken and Given presents 3 community engagement projects by 3 groups of CommDe Students inspired by the artworks of two artists; Phaptawan Suwannakudt and Samak Kosem from the exhibition Leave i̶t̶ and Break n̶o̶ Hearts | ปล่อยก็ร้าว แตะก็แตก curated by Patrick Flores.

It will display the diversity of works from the students studying in Communication Design (CommDe). These projects were developed through the workshop with the artists to understand the process of creating artworks, then, reinterpret their ‘objects’ with a new aspect to respond to Phaptawan and Samak’s works. The pieces on display illustrated three distinctive narratives that have been interpreted differently via various media, forms, and methods entailing their exchanges with the artists through conversations and collaborations. Through objects that Phaptawan and Samak have given to the students, they, in return, have given back their reflections in the form of an undaunted journey.

 

“Communication is a give and take relationship that sparks inspirations and various interpretation to shed some light on new perspectives”

Project 1:

Insider thoughts

أفكار من الداخل

The concept of “insider thoughts” aims to provide insight the Muslim Community from the point of views of Muslims who are in the same generation with the students. The artist of inspiration is Samak Kosem. His work explores the issues regarding Muslim women and queer Muslims. From the students’ understanding, his work has a strong standpoint of the Islam religion and they want to give the audience a wider insight. They have separated their work out into 2 parts which are information board and the opinion board. The layout is inspired from islamic pattern as it is the key visual to display the works.

Project 2

Blur Refraction

Inspired by artist's works in Leave i̶t̶ and Break n̶o̶ Hearts exhibition and the interview, the students intrigued with the conception of blur presented in both artists' creation and thoughts. Blur contributes with visual and conceptual aspects of the work, which, as a starting point, each of them interpret their own response of artist's idea of blur differently. At each different formats come with distinct narrative to follow by. As original context could not be seen, each blur would resonates differently to variety of people

Project 3

Morng Moom Mae (From Mother's perspective)

“Morng Moom Mae (From Mother’s perspective)” started from conversations with 4 mothers from 4 different families, each having different careers, social circles, and method for raising their daughters. From what students have gathered, they would like to present an interesting relationship between mothers and daughters through a perspective that you might not be familiar with. Through photography, text, and sound, they narrate 4 stories, so that you can see the reason behind a mother’s actions may have more meaning than your initially thought.
