Wandering through the exhibition “Gender Illumination” at Museum Siam, Kanasit Puangampai comes to a sudden stop in the “Scene of Life” zone. The mezzanine is home to paintings by children depicting their perception of gender and leads to an exhibition of LGBTQ social activities. There are also short films explaining sexual diversity, teen artworks reflecting sexual diversity issues and the story of social movement in Thailand. The Gender Bread Model is a corner where visitors can gain a better understanding of what “gender” is through a body scanner model that describes the differences between gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation and emotional attraction, and explains a person’s gender can be changed and is fluid, not following the stereotypes of society. And there’s also a wall that allows people to share their gender spectrum by painting a paper gender ticket.
