11:30 pm
it's an international efficacy basically designed for international wares of critical issues especially among different communities outside of thailand. it could not return home. since i'm sitting outside and connecting to differentio communities for example the few times he a year i would come to north america into europe and australia and try to make connections. four and since i had a meeting at the state department and what they called the global affairs
11:31 pm
basically the foreign ministry of canada. .. with government liable organize a -- level organization and ngo's here and elsewhere. the third one is using my position to link up with communities. that is why aside from giving that iste why aside from i woud mix it up with it analysis of the situation. it's a good combination of education and i was doing this on the last one very exciting as
11:32 pm
well. i am grateful that no matter where i go tapping into iran. under this project. i have done it for a few years. i realize this should be a better way. aside from the advocacy and thought about. it could be a way to be equally powerful. then i started to talk with a few friends. one issued approach. with this is also open for anyone to present. luckily i was so lucky, when
11:33 pm
read my report they loved it. and to think about what kind of have no intel me back then. i thought maybe i would start with talking about right? it's easy for me too do. so then i interviewed 25 between high profile people and low profile. low profile people could be as important are equally important as a high profile people. people who we do not know but yet get arrested and charged.
11:34 pm
when we could do campaigns for well-known people. this shows basically as stated earlier criticizing the highland. you could be imprisoned up to 15 years. now, criticism is the subject to different type of interpretation. so if they want to prosecute you, if you think you did not they is still prosecute you. the protection can be so, how we say, manipulated as well. i can yesfo pray for people fore we were talking about on this
11:35 pm
exhibition i just want to talk about the human side. people had to run away from thailand seeking a refugee status elsewhere, we need to know. from zero. begin you leave your family. you do not have friends. you doo not have a career pretty do not have money. to come back to you i think it is so powerful people can be so isolated. can be so desperate at times. that came the first exhibition in new york around this time last year. once again it was so successful. after that exhibition i was about to begin a new project,
11:36 pm
again i thought about another exhibition. i attracted a lot of attention. it's basically many artwork, phonea for if you'd be interestd in producing the set of exhibitions. i would help you sort of sell it idea.rm yes, yes, yes interested. thought we should do in terms of coming up of the exhibition. the idea basically, how do you
11:37 pm
say, these people have to live in thailand. they had to be very careful. based on that we try to think up making artwork that work the message who was what in this case, the message of the involvement. the impact. but do not deceit directly. should be fine optics that would represent an idea? that's why he became a distraction. so what update and order to put across her message. we had to come up with one piece. you need to have different
11:38 pm
pieces.av i did not work very well until we come up with the second one in the final idea. so powerful and that's why you see the difference disruption. there is a man inside. there is a dead man inside. so we started to think about. [inaudible] who were objected, who were forced to disappear and who were killed, right? when you talk about these cases immediately the image of two
11:39 pm
dead bodies have their stomach cut open and order to dump them into theve river. the body floated above the river some years ago. you could look in the internet, would come up. so we startrt out with dissidens being killed by theng authority. and people wanted to forget them. we thought we should bring back the attention is one thing we must not forget about. the second one have been accused. and since stone came to the
11:40 pm
responsibility it's fair enough for us to make our own assumption of certain institutions in this type of crimes. i thought this would be a link that we can talk about. their whole life what happened to them. it's an indirect way of talking about certain institutions talking about this issue and not having to mention so we put that
11:41 pm
real people in fact and certain locations. we eventually came up with seven locations. and if you look closely he would represent key institution. this has a lot to do with the political decision in thailand as well. for example this one at the front, you can see the ministry of defense. that one is a phenomenal example. it is sort of like high bar in thailand. to the grand palace. the institutional core. it is in thailand lately.
11:42 pm
hopefully in the next section i will be able to talk about in the problem. so yes we went to the relocation. r we basically and took a photograph. instead because the police doing the phototo session. if it's not powerful enough. so an every photo #from the same location we just want to see this is not about, we are not forgetting them by putting them in front and certain locations.
11:43 pm
we were one and fact in looking through it. people inside calling for justice foric themselves. i am looking through and i'm calling. i think for me it's a good wake up expressing the whole thing. so similar location, 14 pieces. it eventually became the thing this year. the last time before this introduction on the exhibition might plan to come to north america.
11:44 pm
i thought i would want to bring an exhibition my first stop i stopped in toronto. my first visit to the eastern part of canada. let me talk a bit about canada. they don't pay enough attention. the country yes but also a small country. on the international level. right? more and more and more i want to involve canada because in the past two or three years that is where most young thai runaway two. incredible. this is a thing i am so grateful
11:45 pm
to the government. they have implemented a very t friendly refugee policy. when they decided to run away from thailand and eventually managed to run away and end up in vancouver. that is why the number of young thai runaway again. growing up so rapidly. year.back every two months ago and i mean, it was so amazing hundreds of people are turning up to my talk. i'm not saying all refugees but among the people a large number of them refugee. that's how my stop in canada had been meaningful. much bigger city. an expectation.
11:46 pm
so a few of them are refugee. but the one is about 30 years old. we talk about they are educated. fully knowing of what's going on and thailand. no doubt it would be going back. we turn to introduce. and then i went on once again on the kennedy. i stopped in montréal there's about 40 thai coming to my talk. then a big event to this kind of exhibition on last monday.
11:47 pm
a few days ago it was on thailand and also the situation. and yes i am in washington d.c. and then my last stop would be in chicago. it would be a sort of exhibition lecture. so i do not stop here. thank you so muchh for coming. [applause] looks up and wound can go back
11:48 pm
to their seats. [inaudible] will talk a little bit about the current type of situation. and then we will follow. okay? >> okay, i would not need to talk too much. it could take days or months to talk about it. just maybe safer like 10l minus and then open up for q and a. or any interventions. how should we start?
11:49 pm
as i told you in the first part i think we've go back to 2020. this a lot of things that happen in 2020. at the same time a lot of people 2023. an also recently in thailand. we go back to 2020 with the dissolutionur. and i am sorry, as you know the inclusion a lot of you already know who is who and what is what. they won't perform. the way we intend including the reform so none and you've proven
11:50 pm
that because this type in 2020 and after the dissolution of the party, then came the forecast. and then this is all gone. now in relation to what was in 2016? a year later in an attempt to
11:51 pm
good international image came up with the idea that maybe i should call for moratorium to basically stop using it. i thought it was a wise move. and this would be sustainable. and in fact, in fact yes they stopped using it at the wish of the new king. but they had and 2020 and what will happen after that was so out of control. so out ofon control the decidedt might come back. quickso so it came back in late 2020. and this time when it came back it's basically multiplying.
11:52 pm
control from 2020 up until around may of this year have been more cases of people being prosecuted. so comparing with cases in the previous decade. so i think basically the whole thing. now you can say that. okay.. partly there's a crackdown in one scene. then we must go forward to the election. the election came in 2023. and this time they went out. it was very impressive in thailand. when people say do not deceive
11:53 pm
thailand well. going out toward. the result of the election, it was dissolved ind 2020. they came back with the new party called move forward party. was the move forward party that won theth election in 2033. it came. this was so meaningful in so many ways. even came back to me now. it tells a lot of story. and the second one to signal
11:54 pm
these might be something that we actuallyly needed. i think you can say that. the need fundamental solution. because i think most likely will happen to be because they wanted fundamental changes. but it's not keep us what we really want. again, simply because of the party that made and thailand realized that this got to be a greater threat. it is not a threat before. why did you become a greater
11:55 pm
threat?ea they have become which one and election on the platform of reform of key institution. >> we have to go back and avoid these kind of things before. now, children the past two days. [inaudible] have become good friends. but if we want even back then had nothing to compare with the threat of a different party. because toxic threat basically come across of the people.
11:56 pm
any kind of reform against key institution. it was not as what it had before. so i think fromns the point haso be eliminated. but now that won the election, what are they going to do with that? they came up with a lot of good. now would be in thailand i think we even helped with more in the world. and yet the country.
11:57 pm
this is also because the concept interested in the electoral parties. they knew they could not control the election. and once again 2023 proved they could not control the election. but it's getting more and more difficult because for one thing the u.s. government has to do something. and has to do with every time. in the u.s. constitution. so we kind of sanction has to be imposed appointed in 2014.
11:58 pm
to solve whistling in like that. even at the height and the threat for democratic government. [inaudible] why the government have other things so if you do certain things. okay, okay anyway. it's getting more and more difficult. so in order to punish, to prevent to block depend on
11:59 pm
different type of strategy. onee being that sent in thailand to belong to thehe party. according to the compilation combined number at the house you have to have certain amount number. to boycott the move for both. they will not get any support. which means the chance of them being in the government would be unattainable. an issue as a condition. trying to have discourse proposing as supporting the change of the political system
12:00 am
in thailand. [inaudible] explaining the proposal to reform. and this was acquisition was very powerful. so okay this thing it would not help again in foreign government. it's the other tactic basically is the political party coming together. you have an alliance it's too much to be of importance again. i cannot think of anything except
