CIAC Talks

Last episode of CIAC Talks dedicated to Independent Art

---

The fifth and final interviewee in the CIAC Talks Bangkok series is Unchalee Anantawat (Lee), a professor of Communication Design at the School of Architecture and Design (SoA+D) at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT).

Lee is an artist and co-founder of the art gallery and project Speedy Grandma in Bangkok. Her interest and practice in providing alternative forms for creating spaces and experiencing cultural activities in Thailand are among the topics of discussion in this last episode titled “Independent Art.”

CIAC Talks Bangkok was recorded through the Graduate Program in Design at the Jacob Jensen Design Office/KMUTT Knowledge Exchange for Innovation Center (KX) in Bangkok, Thailand. The series was carried out in close collaboration between the CIAC/UAlg audiovisual team and SoA+D/KMUTT. The interviews were produced and conducted by the journalist, multimedia creator, FCT-CIAC research fellow, and Ph.D. candidate in Media-Art Digital, Juliana Wexel, under the supervision of the initiator and coordinator of CIAC Talks Bangkok, Mirian Tavares.

All participants in the CIAC Talks Bangkok season are closely associated with SoA+D as professors, visiting artists, and former students, by invitation from one of the scientific coordinators of Cultural Adventures, Nigel Power (SoA+D/KMUTT).

The initiative is part of the ongoing scientific and artistic research project, Cultural Adventures. The project establishes interactions between Faro and Bangkok, exploring historical, contemporary, cultural, documentary, fictional, factual, and symbolic relationships between two distinct cultural contexts. Cultural Adventures is developed by CIAC in collaboration with the School of Architecture and Design at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (SoA+D), in the areas of visual communication and digital art, and is scientifically coordinated by Bruno Mendes da Silva and Nigel Power.
