Hidden within the bustling streets of Bangkok, these doorways are the silent guardians of our cultural heritage. Each entrance leads to a world where traditional crafts thrive amidst urban chaos. By unveiling these hidden gems, we aim to preserve their stories and celebrate the rich tapestry of our past. Let us walk through these doors and embrace the beauty and resilience of our craft communities.
What if I told you that vibrant craft communities are thriving just beneath the surface, obscured by the rapid urbanization of Bangkok?
"What if the towering buildings of the city were not just symbols of progress but barriers that obscure the rich cultural heritage of craft communities?”
"What if an interactive zine could be the tool that transforms co-creation and co-authorship into a tapestry of stories, beautifully reflecting the community's collective memory and creativity?"
"Bangkok Memory Tiles"
Interactive, conceptual tiles are installed in public spaces, where stepping on tiles triggers visual and auditory experiences related to Bangkok's cultural heritage. In the center, a larger interactive panel allows users to record and share their stories, contributing to the community's collective memory and participatory governance.
