Sripatum University’s Faculty of Digital Media Brings Thai Identity to the World Stage Through Innovative Toy Art in Milan
The journey of Thai identity and artistic innovation reaches a historic global milestone as “Liko Liko,” a creative Toy Art piece created by Asst. Prof. Dr. Kriengkrai Kongkanand, lecturer in the Digital Arts Program at the Faculty of Digital Media, Sripatum University, has been selected for exhibition at Milan Design Week 2026 in Milan, Italy—one of the world’s most prestigious design platforms.
Seamlessly blending Thai cultural heritage with contemporary art, “Liko Liko” demonstrates the infinite potential of Thai creative talent on an international scale. Showcasing this work globally not only provides visibility for Thai digital art but also aligns directly with SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, specifically under sub-goal SDG 11.2: Support of arts and heritage and sub-sub-goal SDG 11.2.5: Arts and heritage contribution, by preserving and sharing cultural heritage with a global audience.
Furthermore, participation in Milan Design Week 2026 fosters cross-cultural academic and artistic dialogue, supporting SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, particularly sub-goal SDG 17.2: Relationships to support the goals and sub-sub-goal SDG 17.2.4: Collaboration for SDG best practice, by exchanging design knowledge and building international networks for sustainable cultural development.
This remarkable accomplishment brings great pride to Sripatum University and serves as a powerful inspiration for students to unleash their creative boundaries and pursue global excellence.
Sripatum University remains committed to nurturing creative leadership and elevating Thai art and culture towards sustainable global recognition.
