Kittipong “Em-Buddha Bless” Kamsart also took part, revealing that he would like to encourage people to be interested in wall art as it is accepted across the world. He hoped that annual events like this, the third held in Thailand, would dispel the negative attitudes about graffiti.
Organizers set up booths, put on deejay shows and other exhibitions around the old building, which has been vacant for a decade. It was seen as an event that will continue to generate positive tourism for the city.
Meeting of Styles is a non-profit network of graffiti artists and people admiring street arts. It aims to create spaces to exchange ideas, works, skills, and promote cultural exchange.
Kittipong Kamsart ‘Em-Buddha Bless’ and friends encourage more people to engage in this form of art.
