SUB RAANG by Atittayaporn Saenpo SUB RAANG Space is tied to humans. which interacts, flows, and changes all the time It becomes a spatial relationship that has hidden meanings, powers, and implications. The exhibition “Sab Rang” is a questioning of the complex structural problems of the area through intervention, tracing the truth of what happened. This exhibition began with exploration, study and interaction with people in the community and compiled into works consisting of experimental art, vegetable planting workshops with people in the community and video installation works to show another reality that happens to people in the Friendship community along the railway tracks Khon Kaen Province, which was once an empty area, has become an important economic area. There is urban and industrial development, creating job sources and migration of labor from the agricultural sector in the countryside to work in the city. However, such development has caused structural economic inequality, resulting in the urban poor who cannot access resources from development policies and homelessness. Intervention and occupation of

vacant land along the railway tracks is a solution to enable them to survive in the city. However, at present, when the government sees that the railway network is not sufficient to meet their needs, they have to demolish their homes and be pushed to the edge of the area to accommodate the expansion of the railway system for national development.
