Abstract

This project was initiated by the organizers who recognized the problems currently facing mangrove forests and were interested in creating an Azure Mangroves: Exhibition of Photography and Video Reflecting the Issues of Mangrove Forests to reflect these issues. The aim is to raise public awareness about the problems and importance of mangrove forests, and to present an artistic medium as a means of communicating these concerns. By incorporating photography and video media, the project seeks to evoke emotions, thoughts, and feelings, allowing viewers to perceive the challenges facing mangrove forests while also appreciating the artistic value of photography and video. The project has the following objectives: 1) To create an exhibition that reflects the issue of mangrove forest degradation through art, photography, and video media. 2) To evaluate the quality of the exhibition through expert assessment and feedback from a sample group of visitors at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. 3) To assess audience satisfaction with the exhibition media, use a selected sample group. Therefore, the tools used were determined to be: creating an Azure Mangroves: Exhibition of Photography and Video Reflecting the Issues of Mangrove Forests; an evaluation form for the quality of an Azure Mangroves: Exhibition จ 


of Photography and Video Reflecting the Issues of Mangrove Forests; and an evaluation form for the satisfaction of an Azure Mangroves: Exhibition of Photography and Video Reflecting the Issues of Mangrove Forests. This project has been evaluated by experts in 5 areas: exhibition organization, photography, video, graphics, and content. The results of the evaluation by experts in all 5 areas found that the quality was at a high level with an average of 4.09 and a standard deviation of 0.71 and the results of the satisfaction assessment by the sample group, which were 329 visitors to the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, found that the satisfaction was at a high level with a mean of 4.39 and a standard deviation of 0.73. The production of an Azure Mangroves: Exhibition of Photography and Video Reflecting the Issues of Mangrove Forests can be used to present the mangrove forest problem and increase interest for people to understand more.
