This Database of Art and Education Writings by Somporn Rodboon has been created to compile Ajarn Somporn Rodboon's works from the 1970s onwards. It includes articles in exhibition catalogues, journals, books, book chapters, and unpublished papers.
Over five decades, Somporn Rodboon has been dedicated to art education and curatorial practice. Her contributions span teaching, lecturing, and writing in Thai and English. As an Assistant Professor, she has taught art theory at leading art institutions in Thailand, namely Silpakorn University and Chiang Mai University. She also played a key role in establishing the art theory curriculum for the Faculty of Painting, Sculpture, and Graphic Arts at Silpakorn University.
This database emerges from a research project aimed at compiling knowledge and honoring Associate Professor Somporn Rodboon, a distinguished alumna, former faculty member, and internationally renowned curator. Initially funded by the Faculty of Painting, Sculpture, and Graphic Arts at Silpakorn University, the project was undertaken to compile her writings for the publication Planting Seeds: Sharing Art and Education, Selected Writings of Somporn Rodboon 1987-2014. The project also includes the symposium and workshop Flourishing Narratives: Honoring the Works of Somporn Rodboon in Art Education and Curatorial Practices in Thailand Since the 1980s, held on August 24-25, 2024, at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre.
All the articles in this database have been granted permission to be reprinted and distributed by the original authors and publishers.
