Get matched →OFF LAB#3/2018: Local Agents is an annual art project by Baan Noorg Collaborative Arts and Culture developed as a model study for Nongpho community in Ratchaburi province, Thailand. The project aims to create art and cultural activities under Cultural Politics of Gramsci Study to create a knowledge platform with artistic practice and encourage local productive force and relation of production through diverse groups and classes to shape immunity of civil society.
Artists Alfred Banze and Christine Falk (Camping Akademie e.V., Germany) collaborated with Nongpho community members to collect plastic waste from local households and construct a 7-meter-high, 5-meter-wide stupa from the collected materials. The installation represents the volume of plastic waste produced by the community and served as a symbolic invitation for community participation in a 'Plastic Funeral' ceremony, complete with monk chanting and traditional dance performances. The project led to the pilot initiative 'Plastic Killer,' which aims to sort and reduce plastic waste within a 2-year timeframe in collaboration with Baan Noorg Collaborative Arts and Culture, Wat Nongpho community school, and Nongpho municipality office.
