Art and Culture Policy

The Future Forward Party will implement policies of arts and culture based on basic rights to freedom of expression, respect and promotion of diversity in a society of multiple ideas and ways of lives, and an end to discrimination based on origins, nationalities, languages, genders, ages, physical bodies, health, individual statuses, economic statuses, social statuses, along with religious beliefs, education and political opinions. The Future Forward Party is committed to rights to arts and cultures as stated in Article 27 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits."

The Future Forward Party will amend laws that obstruct those expressions, in order to fully liberate humans into creativity of arts and culture. The Future Forward Party will push for education and development of arts, knowledge and cultures, from both local and contemporary arts; promote culture activities to create constructive cultures in accordance with the ideology of liberal democracy and human rights principles; promote cultural works as key instrument in building intellect, knowledge, creativity, and economic values. The party will also end the state’s monopoly on defining meanings and desiginating values of arts and cultures, and its recording of history solely based on the central state’s narrative, to pave way for values of arts and cultures that belong to all, a creative society, and propel Thailand to be the leader in arts and cultures, in both regional and global standings.
