Permission to Play Exhibition

Chomtawan Kleuntanom

Permission to Play Exhibition showcases a collection of experience design and art display that are exploring the notion of reclaiming the joy and spontaneity of childhood in adulthood. Investigating the act of joyful play through five different aspects of emerging adulthood: age of identity exploration, age of instability, age of feeling in-between, age of self-focus and age of possibilities. In our youth, the freedom to play was inherent, without the need for explicit permission, as responsibilities were limited. However, as we mature, the dynamics of play undergo a transformation, intertwining with adult responsibilities and the accompanying consequences.

Permission to Play creates the dialogue and raises the question of the nature in play, examining how it adapts to the complexities of adulthood while still seeking moments of uninhibited enjoyment.
