The Sasakawa Peace Foundation and the Surin Pitsuwan Foundation are pleased to extend an invitation to the opening reception of the art exhibition titled "Echoed Tranquillity" at the Jim Thompson Art Center in Bangkok. This exhibition is the result of a collaborative effort among the Sasakawa Peace Foundation in Japan and the Surin Pitsuwan Foundation in Thailand with support from the Jim Thompson Art Center, the Embassy of Japan in Thailand and the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.

Echoed Tranquility is an art exhibition that delicately captures the essence of tranquility that emerges after conflicts. Through subtle and introspective artworks, the exhibition explores the journey of understanding and resilience in the aftermath of strife. It portrays the intricate interplay between brokenness and renewal. With its nuanced approach, Echoed Tranquility illuminates the subtle conversation and hopeful whispers that arise when shattered landscapes and souls find solace and serenity, embodying the delicate essence of lives after conflicts. The exhibition features a notable artwork by Dinh Q. Lê, 'South China Sea Pishkun' (2009), a new iteration of Pratchaya Phinthong's 'The Organ of Destiny' series, and a collection of enamel paintings by Toshiko Tanaka, who, as a survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bombing, transitioned into an artist.

As part of our program, there will be a guided tour of the exhibition, followed by a talk delivered by Toshiko Tanaka and Pratchaya Phinthong who will share their experiences and stories. We eagerly anticipate your presence at this event.
