This is the catalogue for the group exhibition of Thai artists organised by the Australian Thai Artist Interchange (ATAI) at several locations, which included a two week exhibition at the RMIT University School of Art Gallery; a three week exhibition at Screen Space and a pop up gallery housed in a Shipping Container at the Amphitheatre in Federation Square.

'The Hua Krathi Project presents the work of 14 contemporary Thai artists that span the mediums of installation, sculpture, media art, drawing, painting and photography to showcase the diversity of Thai culture. Their work represents a divergence from the traditional mediums and approaches to art making, offering Australian audiences a taste of this fresh contemporary approach.
Shifting away from the exotic and tropical identity of Thailand, the project explores the conflicts between the rural and the urban Thai landscape, whilst addressing contemporary developmental issues of the socio-political, the cultural and the personal. Similarly to how Hua Krathi – the cream of the coconut - is used to bring a richness to the diversity of flavours in Thai food, each artist in The Hua Krathi Project brings conceptual and contextual finesse to create artworks in a mélange of mediums that reveal the range of issues that face modern Thai society.' - from ATAI's website.
