SUMMARY:Broken Dreams screening & "From Across the River" exhibition launch
DESCRIPTION:This Friday\, 1 March at 430 pm all are invited to a screening of Broken Dreams with director’s talk\, along with a violin performance from Joy House and the launch of the “From Across the River” exhibition. The screening and exhibition will be held at the Dhani Phaholyothin conference room\, Faculty of Social Sciences\, Chiang Mai University with the support of Asia Justice and Rights. \nBroken Dreams is a feature-length omnibus film made up of 9 short films that portray the impact of the 2021 military coup in Myanmar. The film covers a wide range of experiences\, from the loss of loved ones to the suppression of freedom of expression. Each story is told from a unique perspective\, and together they provide a powerful and moving portrait of the ongoing crisis in Myanmar. The film is a follow-up to the critically acclaimed Myanmar Diaries\, which won several awards at international film festivals. Broken Dreams builds on the success of its predecessor\, offering a more in-depth look at the human cost of the coup. The film is also notable for the fact that most of the filmmakers\, actors\, and crew are in exile to avoid junta’s persecution for their participation in Myanmar’s Spring Revolution. \n“From Across the River” is an exhibition showcasing the journey of artist trainers and their students who fled to Mae Sot after the Myanmar military coup. Through paintings\, drawings\, and hand-sewn banners\, it portrays the impact of the conflict on civilians\, depicting air strikes\, political prisoners\, and displaced persons. The art reflects both the suffering and resilience of Myanmar people in their uprising against military rule. Joy House in Mae Sot offers free Art and Wellness classes\, bridging communities through teaching and showcasing artwork\, music\, and dance to raise awareness of the crisis. Supported by the Foundation for Education and Development\, Joy House stands as a beacon of healing and resilience amidst adversity.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Thread Under Threat
DESCRIPTION:Following the first display in Bangkok titled “Thread Under Threat: Myanmar Women Out of the 3-Year Coup Shadow\,” the exhibition in Chiang Mai will be held under the name “Thread Under Threat: Invincible Myanmar Women Who Dare!” from 8 to 27 March 2024 at the Baan Tuek Art Center. The exhibition is organized by the Regional Center for Social Science and Sustainable Development (RCSD)\, Thanakha International Gender Tekkatho and SEA Junction. \nWell-known Myanmar artist Chuu Wai’s solo exhibition is born out of solidarity with the opposition movement in Myanmar that has been fighting for democracy since the coup d’état led by General Min Aung Hlaing on 1 February 2021. It resonates with the resilience of the people of Myanmar\, especially the women among them. For three years now\, Myanmar people have been demanding the restoration of democracy and the rule of law and the release of the imprisoned leaders and all other political in spite of the military’s use of lethal force. As of February 2024\, 4\,572 people are confirmed killed by the junta and a total of 26\,171 people have been arrested\, with 20\,166 currently detained including more than 5\,000 women. The number of displaced people in the country and across borders is over 2 million and growing. Amidst the failure of the international community to pay attention and take action\, people are not giving up\, continuing their support for the opposition National Unity Government (NUG) in exile and counting on their steadfast opposition and the armed resistance by the People Defence Force and the Ethnic Armies gaining ground to eventually win the revolution. \nThe exhibition displays the powerful portrayal of women figures in Chuu Wai’s paintings celebrating International Women’s Day on 8 March. The paintings with mixed material shine a spotlight on the strength\, resilience\, and indomitable spirit of women who have stood against the oppressive forces of both patriarchal and authoritarian values. These figures become symbols of defiance\, challenging preconceptions and inspiring a movement towards a more just and democratic society. \nMore generally\, the artworks radiate the resilient spirit and unique culture of Myanmar as a resource to draw upon in the current context. Utilizing handwoven fabric\, vintage photos\, and newspaper clippings\, the exhibition celebrates the country’s uniqueness while also unveiling and challenging the complex tapestry meticulously woven by those in power through education\, religion\, and traditional normative systems directed at perpetuating an authoritarian and patriarchal system\, which people are set to change.
