In mainstream media, labourers are usually portrayed as muscular working-class men who engage in physical work to earn money. In order to expand this stereotypical image of labourers, three aspiring curators -- Trithida Trising, Kukasina Kubaha and Panod Srinual -- of the project "Start! Art Curator Season 2" created the exhibition "Crossing The Lines" to give a different interpretation of labourers.
"Most people think labourers refer to working-class men. White-collar workers do not feel they are part of the labour force. This causes workers and labour unions in Thailand to lack unity and strength. In 'Crossing The Lines', we present labourers differently from stereotyped ones presented in mainstream media such as sex workers, nannies and housewives," Trithida said.
