Having to work on an exhibition about children without any children on the project team, we reminisced about our childhood experiences. Although growing up in a similar cultural context, each team member experienced childhood in their own way. With this in mind, while the exhibition’s core statement anchors on the idea of rethinking social norms toward raising our children in an increasingly globalized world, it is also essential that everyone has the opportunity to contribute to its content, as the experience of growing up is first-hand to all.

This exhibition consists of three main sections:
- Children’s Day mottos traditionally given by Thai prime ministers engraved onto plywood panels
- Curated quotes about children from Thai and foreign literature
- A platform for visitors to share thoughts and opinions
