In a series of video interviews Maria Stukoff and Kasama Yamtree take us through the challenges posed by the site, describe the audiences they’re hoping to connect with, and explain the ideas behind their work.
Victory Monument is one of Bangkok’s busiest intersections with thousands of Skytrain, bus and car commuters passing through each day, together with hundreds of vendors who ply their trade there. It is also known as the ‘zero marker’ for the centre of Thailand, the starting point from which all distances are measured.
The British Council in partnership with the Thailand Creative and Design Centre, and the Bangkok Design Festival would like to invite you to join our networking event that brings together creative entrepreneurs from Thailand, UK and East Asian countries. The purpose of the network is to create a platform for individuals to inspire, share knowledge through collaboration, and encourage business to business partnerships.
Victory Monument is Bangkok’s zero-marker: a transit hub, market place, social space and mysterious monument. Apostrophe’S and artist Maria Stukoff are planning a radical ‘creative infection’ to engage the site’s users with the environmental, cultural and social impact of the site.
