Moscow shows its creative side during Bangkok Design Week
Moscow Creative Tech Highlights, an exhibition that aims to exchange Russia's innovations and creative technology with Thailand, is being held at Thailand Creative and Design Centre in Bangkok's Bang Rak district.
The "Created in Moscow" exhibition, organised by Creative Industries Agency (Moscow), is a part of Bangkok Design Week 2023, which is being held across the capital until Sunday.
Evgenia Markova, founder of JM Create and Connect Agency, said Thai-Russian relations in creative industries are experiencing a new phase of development.
"After participation in Chiang Mai Design Week in December 2022, the Moscow industry continues to develop ties with the Thai creative and business communities," she said.
The objective of the event is to strengthen business and cultural ties between Thai and Russian creative communities. Russia is ready to cooperate with Thailand in other areas, such as boosting the potential of small- and medium-sized enterprises, and the development of the film and animation industry, Markova said.
"We believe that Thailand and Russia will continue strengthening ties to bring prosperity between the two countries," she said, adding: “Moscow’s participation in Bangkok Design Week is a new example of building an image of the Russian capital as a city with a spirit of innovation and creativity,”
The exhibition features seven Russian products:
- Farrdi clothes made with carbon fibre: a unique, innovative material whose advantages are strength, lightness, flexibility, and high-temperature tolerance.
