Notable Projects
Community Art
Because art is a worldwide language and can communicate with people's hearts and souls more effectively than any other way, we develop it as a tool for community mobilization and growth. As a result, it has come to represent the essence of our organization.

A project that invited 7 artists to produce experimental short documentaries on anything about Nangloeng community in order to raise attention on Chalermthani theater, a 1oo-years-old cinema situated at the heart of Nangloeng's community which for the past years have survived the officials' endeavors to demolish and transform it into an empty parking lot.
Children Day
In order to raise awareness among younger generations who live in slum areas surrounded by drugs and people who was in poverty, lack of education, and early pregnancy, it is important that active members of the community work together to organize cultural events and art activities geared toward children.
