Dear Partners and Friends of SEA Junction,
November is setting out to be an interesting month here at SEA Junction. Our first event explores the gap in literacy and disability in a panel-style discussion in Thai. Following this, SEA Junction is proud to present a photo exhibition documenting the rapidly changing neighborhood of Phra Khanong through black and white photographs.
In addition to these new activities, our regular programs, SEA Mini Book and Craft Fair, which will feature many holiday-themed items, as well as our #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar update, will continue to be a part of our agenda this month.
We hope you find our programs of interest. We count on your participation and help in sharing this information with your network and hope in your support (see below). SEA Junction relies on community members like you to be able to maintain our venue and continue our work at a time when civic spaces and resources for civil society are curtailed all over the world.
Warmly,
Lia Sciortino Sumaryono
