Introducing CommMa – where thinking happens through making, and creative practice becomes a way of questioning, exploring, and reflecting. This first-ever showcase by CommMA’s debut cohort presents creative practice as inquiry—rooted in Southeast Asia, grounded in practice-based research, and driven by curiosity and critical reflection.

From street life to screen culture, CommMa Walk the Walk by showing how creative practice can generate knowledge, spark dialogue, and drive social awareness.

See the work, through the walk. 31th May – 7th June 2025 | 11:00 am – 7:00 pm Opening Event: 31th May 2025, 4.00 PM onwards Lert Urasayanandana Building (Commde), Chulalongkorn University.

Two works by our first inaugural graduates will be presented, including Transiting Image by Ng Kai Ho (Roger Ng) and 10101: 101 Pieces of 1 City (Bangkok Edition) by Romrawin Pipatnudda (Noynar).

Transiting Image" is a video art installation that remixes music videos to explore the visual differences between K-pop and Southeast Asian girl groups from 2019 to 2025. The work is derived from the practice-based research "K-popization: A Study of the Visuals of Music Videos by Girl Groups in Southeast Asia," which investigates commonly used visual elements in girl group music videos from both regions, focusing on how K-pop's visual language is appropriated and transformed within the context of Southeast Asia.

Bangkok’s urban landscape is shaped not only by its infrastructure but also by the everyday ingenuity of its people, resourceful, improvised solutions created in response to daily challenges. The 10101 Kit draws from this dynamic vernacular making, offering a tool for creative exploration through 101 unique play pieces used across free play, guided activities, and real-world-inspired tasks.

The toolkit comprises three main components: publications, a set of 101 three-dimensional pieces, and a board game set. Together, these elements are designed to stimulate creative thinking, problem-solving, and a deeper understanding of Bangkok’s street-level design. Adaptable for both individual use and group workshops, the 10101 Kit is not intended to appropriate local practices but to translate vernacular principles into a creative framework, bridging the gap between everyday experience and design practice.
