HEFORSHE ARTS WEEK BANGKOK
MARCH 8 – MARCH 15, 2017
BACC, BANGKOK
Perfectly timed with International Women’s Day and synchronized with other similar events in main capitals of the World -London, New York, Madrid, Panama City, Paris, Santiago de Chile and Sao Paulo- the weeklong event #HeForShe #ArtsWeekBangkok will take place from the 8th to the 15th of March 2017 in Bangkok, Thailand.
The event aims to raise public awareness -thought arts and culture- of the multiple forms of gender inequality we continue to face around the world, and to mobilize broad support for a shifting of culture to a more gender equal society, where the participation of men and boys as agents of change is crucial.
There will be a number of initiatives related to arts and culture that will bring gender equality to the forefront of the public sphere. Different featured speakers that embody the vision of #UNWomen and the spirit of HeForShe will participate in these events held in the heart of the city, and inspire the community to shift culture positively. A 4-day film festival will be celebrated at SF Cinema Central World (We love SF). A booth for ticket collection located outside the theatre will be open for 30 minutes before the screening of every movie. All movies will be screened in their original languages with Thai and English subtitles as required. Moreover, a number of exhibits, screenings, panel discussions and performances will be showcased at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre and at Chulalongkorn University.
