» Since Phetchaburi and Songkhla have an abundance of sugar palm trees, people recognise these two provinces for their palm sugar products. When local ingredient expert Anusorn Tipayanon and community architect Jantrarat Jantaratippalukit visited Pattani, they were surprised to see the palm sugar production process there. After trying wak or krachae (liquor made from palm sugar) in Panare, Anusorn came up with the idea to create the exhibition "Soul/Sweet" which depicts products made from palm sugar.

» When artist Raweepon Pradit visited Hat Yai in Songkhla — his hometown — an antique white pagoda with scaffolding around it caught his eyes. After hearing that the pagoda was too old to repair, Raweepon captured some aesthetic angles with his camera. The artist felt that the beauty of the pagoda, which was surrounded by metal poles, was extraordinary so he decided to take photos of it before it degenerated further. A photo of the pagoda was later developed into the artwork Structure, which is part of his latest collection titled “Memo Fascination” on display at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) and also online.
