Mr. Spencer said, "Even if Thailand today is more accepting towards LGBT community but in truth, the understanding of LGBT couples living together are still a mystery which is the inspiration of the exhibition, "KALEIDOSCOPE | Through my Lens". This is a community space where people can visit to learn, comprehend, be inspired, and exchange their opinions and thoughts on the differences of the LGBT community through photographic art by numerous famous photographers. It is also good timing because July is Pride Month celebration. We hope that we will be a small starting point for people to realize and accept the diversity and creativity in the society as well."
"The photography exhibition, "KALEIDOSCOPE | Through my Lens" is honored to receive work from over 25 leading photographers in Thailand such as Wasan Puengprasert, Vatcharasit Vitchyannarat, Phansiri Sirivejchaphan, and new up and coming photographers like Chardchakaj Waikawee, Namkang Paris Wuttipong, and Benya Hegenbarth. They are more than happy to share their views on LGBT community in their unique perspectives. A collection comprises of over 40 pieces of portrait, abstract, landscape, and street photography. These will be available for art lovers to collect. All proceeds will be donated to three foundations include the House of Blessing Foundation, Karen Hill Tribes Trust, and World Wide Fund for Nature – WWF," said Jareyadee Spencer.
