Statement from our Director, Sasiwimon Wongjarin
“At Studio 88, we believe in the transformative power of art, education, and cultural connection to shape a person’s future. This belief is deeply personal as it reflects my own journey. Growing up in Thailand, I was fortunate to receive guidance and support from individuals abroad who believed in my potential. Their encouragement led me to study in the Netherlands, where I pursued my degrees and deepened my understanding of art and creativity.
The opportunities I received opened doors to the world and taught me the value of giving back. Art for Hearts and Minds is my way of paying forward the kindness and support I was given. By nurturing the creative and emotional growth of children and young adults in Doi Saket, I hope to inspire them to dream boldly and embrace their own paths, just as I was inspired.
I’m thrilled to invite our residents, artists, and supporters to join us in this journey of empowerment and connection. Together, we can create lasting change for the next generation.” – Sasiwimon Wongjarin, Director of Studio 88 Artist Residency.
