SUMMARY:FROM FEAR TO RESILIENCE: STORYTELLING OF COVID-19 IN SOUTHEAST ASIA  Call for Photo\, Short Video and Art Essays by SEA Junction and Partners
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThese days we are inundated with photos of deaths\, ICUs and suffering\, creating fear as an incentive to keep us all at home. No matter how well-meaning\, this narrative of COVID-19 remains one-sided and may have many unwanted consequences. We know from the HIV epidemic that fear only changes behavior in the short term and it may cause traumas and prejudices that make it more difficult to learn to live with the virus. This narrative also leads to seeing the ‘other’ as the ‘enemy’ who can potentially infect us\, triggering unnecessary stigma and discrimination that hampers the efforts to control the pandemic. More needs to be done to raise understanding of the rationale of preventive measures and to provide the social and economic means to enable people to apply those. \nLiving through a pandemic with unforeseen reality and unending uncertainties for over a year has created an epidemic of fear. As a consequence\, there have been stigmatization and blaming to infected people\, especially vulnerable population. With the current surges in COVID-19 infection across Southeast Asia\, the fear of contracting the disease remains and is even escalated when the vaccine is in shortage and not accessible to many. They are nervous of not getting timely vaccinated\, not to mention the concern on vaccine’s safety and efficacy. The fear also extends beyond contraction and manifests in socio-economic stress as a result of the pandemic impacts. In particular\, the poor and disadvantaged groups have been hardest hit with a deepening of poverty since the existing inequalities have been exacerbated. \nSEA Junction invites all to make an effort to collectively provide a different visual story of the pandemic in Southeast Asia that shows strength and hope. We believe in the importance of reducing fear and promote informed policy and public discussion with more accurate reporting of the epidemiological realities of COVID-19. We need to show that COVID-19 is also a tale of survival\, resilience and solidarity. \nWe are calling for short stories in the form of photo essays\, short documentaries and illustrated art essays in any language of the region (to be later translated into English) or in English. We will then select\, curate and showcase them in a special section on our online platform and on our social media. We will be also looking for other partners interested in broadcasting these works of resilience. When the COVID-19 situation ease\, we will use the selected visual storytelling works to organize a 2-week long exhibition at BACC. \nPossible topics include but not limited to: \n\ncultural rituals and faith to counter our anxiety;\nexperiences of quarantine (at home or at reserved locations) and survival;\npeople that continue to work in essential services;\nlaborers and migrant workers that keep the economy running by continuing to work in construction\, agriculture\, fishing\, etc.;\nrural and urban community organizing to control the pandemic and provide support to the needy;\ninnovation and adaptation of technology in resource poor settings;\nstrategic intervention to enhance people survival beyond relief;\nand people that fight for social protection and for upholding of privacy and other human rights amidst this pandemic.\n\nNeedless to say\, ethical and safety principles need to be respected in the production of the stories\, and compliance of preventive measures is a must at any time. \nPlease submit approximately 15 photos and/or videos along with short essay to  southeastasiajunction@gmail.com. The call remains open without specific deadline. We welcome all the entries and also other interested partners to join this call. \nOrganizers \nSEA Junction \nSEA Junction\, established under the Thai non-profit organization Foundation for Southeast Asia Studies (ForSEA)\, aims to foster understanding and appreciation of Southeast Asia in all its socio-cultural dimensions- from arts and lifestyles to economy and development.

SUMMARY:Call for Proposals\, Small Grant Program “Staying Resilient Amid the Pandemic in Southeast Asia”
DESCRIPTION:In Southeast Asia\, the spread of COVID-19 has been relatively slow when compared to other regions. With the exception of the Philippines and Indonesia\, the number of seriously ill and death cases remain in the two digits. This\, however\, does not imply that the pandemic should be taken lightly nor that the health\, economic and political impacts are insignificant. Like in other parts of the words\, human suffering is real\, with a disproportionate impact on the most vulnerable. The pandemic has also highlighted deep inequalities and socio-economic and human rights challenges. \nIrrespective of the capacity of governments to tackle the pandemics\, all over the region civil society groups\, communities and committed individuals have shown great resilience and solidarity. All kinds of small-scale initiatives have been started to battle the pandemic and cope with its local impacts from providing relief goods and PPE equipment to launching education campaigns and financial schemes. \nRecognizing the importance of these diverse initiatives and the fact that they are often undertaken with minimal resources\, SEA Junction is launching the “Staying Resilient Amid the Pandemic in Southeast Asia” small-grant program. The 3-year program\, with support of the China Medical Board Foundation and WIEGO\, provides funds to efforts working to build social capital\, strengthen community resilience\, improve the living and health conditions of local communities (geographical as well as functional) and enhance their capacity to cope with the current situation of COVID-19 and its longer-term socio-economic and health impacts. \nSmall grants for an average of USD 2\,500 will be awarded to selected groups and individuals. Funds can be used to complement existing resources as well as seeds or matching funds. Besides providing financing\, the program will also share relevant COVID-19 and health equity relevant information and knowledge\, foster cross-fertilization of ideas and interventions\, help build networks and conduct joint advocacy activities. \nEligibility and Priority \n\nThis call is open to individuals and groups (both formal and informal)\nFocus is on socio-economic and health dimensions of COVID-19\nActivities are to be located in Southeast Asia\nPriority is given to community-led and inclusive initiatives\nEmphasis on equity and resilience\n\nHow to Apply: \n\nDownload and fill the proposal form provided here: Proposal Template\nUse English or any Southeast Asian languages\nSubmit your brief proposal by email to southeastasiajunction@gmail.com\n\n  \n \nThe first batch of applications was closed in September 2020. We have selected and provided funds to 13 initiatives in Indonesia\, Malaysia\, Myanmar\, Thailand and The Philippines on different issues including arts and culture\, migration\, gender\, rural development\, waste management\, education\, etc. The full list of first batch grantees is available here. \nThe second call for proposals was closed on 15 March 2021. Amid the new wave of outbreak in many countries\, the community demand for support is great with almost 140 relevant proposals received. Thanks to individual and non-profit donations as per our fundraising campaign at the end of 2020\, we have been able to increase our initial funds and grant 23 local initiatives from different locations in 8 countries. The full list of second batch grantees is available here. The next opportunity for a third batch of application is tentatively planned for the end of 2021. \nMeanwhile\, we are now looking for ways to increase the budget as the need is great and response has been overwhelming. Any contribution from interested institutional and individual donors will go a long way toward mitigating the impacts of COVID-19 and strengthening the community-based response to the pandemic. If there’s any preference for particular groups\, themes or countries\, you can earmark your donations and we will take it into account in the grant announcements and selection.

SUMMARY:Exhibition "Stand for Democracy in Myanmar"
DESCRIPTION:Since 1 February 2021\, Myanmar has been in turmoil as the Myanmar Army\, known as the Tatmadaw\, detained State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint following a general election which Suu Kyi’s NLD party won by a landslide. The coup d’état led by General Min Aung Hlaing brought an end to a decade of semi-democratic rule and returned full power to the military\, a state of emergency and gross human rights abuses. Courageously\, the population has been resisting and demanding the release of the imprisoned leaders\, as well as a booming number of prisoners and the restoration of democratic rule. A massive Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) has emerged and hundreds of thousands continue to take to the streets in spite of the military’s use of lethal force against protesters. Amidst the failure of the international community to take action\, atrocities are being committed on an increasing scale\, with the opposition National Unity Government (NUG) in exile resorting to form the People Defense Force and justify armed resistance. As of 15 March 2022\, 1672 people are confirmed killed by the junta coup and a total of 9625 people are currently under detention. In total\, 84 people are sentenced to death\, in person and absentia\, including two children. \nIn the midst of global worries\, it is more crucial than ever to keep Myanmar on the public agenda. In solidarity with the democratic movement in Myanmar\, SEA Junction and Human Rights Art Initiative (HuRAI)\, with the support of Taiwan Foundation for Democracy (TFD) and Asia Democracy Network (ADN)\, are therefore organizing the exhibition “Stand for Democracy in Myanmar” on the 3rd floor of Bangkok Art and Culture Center (BACC) from 26 April to 8 May 2022. The thirteen artworks are produced by Marcelo Brodsky\, an Argentine artist who advocates visual narratives through photography\, installations\, monuments\, and work that combines text and images. Images of the demonstrations against the coup during the Myanmar Spring triggered him to create work in solidarity with the protesters\, creating a visual experience for larger groups to engage—aestheticising the snapshots from the demonstrations\, leaving resulting effects for mobilization. He activates personal and collective memory\, communicating a message of resistance hoping to connect people across time and space\, ending up working at the crossroads between visual art\, poetry\, and human rights activism. \nStand for Democracy in Myanmar leverages visual art to raise public awareness of and to express solidarity with the cause of the civil movement in Myanmar and their struggle for freedom\, democracy and human rights. The exhibition at the BACC is part of a larger program of art shows and events at art institutions and museums around the globe which mobilize visual artists in support of the CDM and the democratically mandated NUG. Brodsky’s artworks have been exposed at the Tokyo Institute of Photography\, Kunsthall 3\,14 (Bergen\, Norway) and most recently at Photobastei (Zurich\, Switzerland). \nThe exhibition "Stand for Democracy in Myanmar" will be launched with an event on 26 April 2022 at 5:30-7:00 pm on the 3 rd floor of BACC\, where the exhibition is held. The artist will be joined by other speakers\, as listed below\, to discuss the importance of mobilizing for democracy through a medium of art. Co-culture Ensemble and the Myanmar Students Community in Thailand will also perform live traditional and classical music. Following that\, Burmese food and drinks will be served. \nSpeakers: \n\nMarcelo Brodsky\, Exhibiting Artist\nKeiko Sei\, Writer and Curator\nPhil Robertson\, Deputy Director of Asia Division\, Human Rights Watch\n\nModerator: \n\nRosalia Sciortino\, Founder and Executive Director\, SEA Junction\n\n \n  \nArtist \nMarcelo Brodsky (1954) lives and works in Buenos Aires\, Argentina. An artist and political activist\, Marcelo Brodsky was forced into exile in Barcelona following General Videla’s coup in Argentina in 1976. He studied economics at the University of Barcelona as well as photography at the Centre Internacional de Fotografia in Barcelona. \nSituated on the border between installation\, performance\, photography\, monument and memorial\, his pieces blend text and images\, often using figures of speech. His work is exhibited worldwide and part of major museum collections such as the Tate Gallery in London\, Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York\, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes\, Buenos Aires\, Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art\, the center for creative Photography in Tucson\, University of Arizona\, Sprengel Museum in Germany\, Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo in Brazil\, Lima Art Museum in Peru\, Colección de Arte del Banco de la República in Colombia and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. \nFor more information\, please see https://marcelobrodsky.com. \n  \nOrganizers \nSEA Junction \nSEA Junction\, established under the Thai non-profit organization Foundation for Southeast Asia Studies (ForSEA)\, aims to foster understanding and appreciation of Southeast Asia in all its socio-cultural dimensions- from arts and lifestyles to economy and development.

SUMMARY:Summer School on Social Movements in Contemporary Southeast Asia
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Asian and North African Studies of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and the Marco Polo Center for Global Europe-Asia Connections are pleased to offer a Summer School on Social Movements in Contemporary Southeast Asia. \nThis Summer School will focus on the specific and distinctive features of collective social actors in the region by illuminating the central roles played by the youth\, women\, LGBTQ+ activists and religious actors in shaping\, resisting\, and/or contesting processes of cultural and socio-political change. \nThe Summer School will be held in Venice\, Italy\, on September 18 to 24\, 2022. \nThe School welcomes MA and PhD students (including student activists) who wish to develop a research paper exploring one of the following three themes with reference to contemporary Southeast Asia: \n\nsocial movements through the lens of age;\nsocial movements through the lens of gender;\nsocial movements through the lens of religion.\n\nSelected students will have the opportunity to work with an appointed advisor on the development of their research paper\, written and oral. At the end of the School\, they will present their paper to an audience of scholars of Southeast Asia.   \n* Should travel restrictions and other uncertainties related to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic make it impossible for the event to be held onsite\, the Organizing Committee will consider alternative plans\, including hybrid modes of attendance. Updates will be published on this website and communicated via email to successful applicants. \nRationale \nThis 7-day summer school aims to provide young and emerging scholars with methodological\, theoretical\, and analytical tools for the study of social movements in contemporary Southeast Asia. \nSince the colonial period\, resistance in the region has often been expressed via a broad range of social movements – a diverse array of collective actions\, organizational strategies\, and social networks that have catalyzed profound transformations in identity\, lifestyle\, culture\, economy\, and politics. Notable examples include the 1970s student movements in Thailand\, the 2008 Saffron Revolution in Myanmar\, and the 1986 People Power Revolution in the Philippines.  \nThis Summer School will engage students in addressing the complex transformations brought about by social movements in Southeast Asia by considering the following three interrelated axes of enquiry: religion\, gender and age.  \nAs in other world contexts\, young people in Southeast Asia have often been at the vanguard of political change. Their mobilization in the region has destabilized longstanding social hierarchies. Many of these movements seek to question prevailing gender norms and advance new ideas of kinship and community. In doing so they often co-opt\, contest and reframe those religious ideals that sustain existing power arrangements. \nWhilst a growing body of literature has dealt with social movements in areas ranging from Western Europe and North America to Latin America and the Middle East\, Southeast Asia remains understudied. Yet\, recent “gay pride” parades in Vietnam\, youth-led “digital protests” in Thailand and Myanmar\, Buddhist environmental actions in Cambodia\, “indigenous rights millenarianism” in highland Southeast Asia\, and Muslim NGO activism throughout Indonesia\, to name a few\, have captured international attention. \nThe Summer School will focus on the specific and distinctive features of collective social actors in this region by illuminating the central roles played by the youth\, women\, LGBTQ+ activists and religious actors in shaping\, resisting\, and/or contesting processes of cultural and socio-political change.   \nIn addition to focused lectures and class discussions on social movements in Southeast Asia\, the School will provide graduate students from around the world with opportunities to develop academic writing and presentation skills through collaborative work with senior researchers and leading experts in the field. \nBased on their research interests/proposal\, students will be assigned to one of the following working groups/thematic panels: \n\nsocial movements through the lens of age;\nsocial movements through the lens of gender;\nsocial movements through the lens of religion.\n\nStudents in each panel will work with an appointed advisor on the development of their research paper. The School will conclude with a Graduate Conference that is open to the public. This final event will provide students with a platform to present their work in a scientific conference setting to an audience of scholars of Southeast Asia.  \nEligibility and grants \nAll MA students and PhD students interested in researching about social movements are eligible to apply. \nAccommodation (six days) and half board (lunch) in Venice will be fully covered for 20 successful applicants. \nIn addition\, travel grants (transportation and visa costs) up to a maximum of 1\,000 Euros are available for 5 students from Southeast Asian countries (all but Singapore and Brunei). \nCall for applications \nApplication packages from eligible students should contain:  \n\ncurriculum vitae\, complete with lists of symposia attended and publications (if any)\nabstract of a conference paper (max. 300 words) that you would like to develop during the School. This paper should explore the summer school theme through 1 of the proposed 3analytical lenses: age\, gender\, or religion\nshort bio note (100–150 words)\nscanned copy of passport/ID card\napplication form (https://www.unive.it/pag/43418/)\n\nApplication materials should be sent to  summerschool.sea@unive.it by 30 April 2022.\nSuccessful applications will be notified via email by 15 May 2022.\nSelected students will be required to submit a full-length conference paper (maximum: 6\,000 words\, including references\, notes and bibliography) based on their original abstract by 15 July 2022. The proposed paper should not have been previously published or presented. It should also be based on the student’s own work. \nPartner institutions and graduate conference\nThe Summer School Graduate Conference is part of a series of interlinked events on social movements in Southeast Asia\, organized by a network of academic\, research\, and public institutions\, including: \n\nCa’ Foscari University of Venice\, Department of Asian and North African Studies\nMarco Polo Center for Global Europe-Asia Connections\nALTERSEA – Observatory of Political Alternatives in Southeast Asia\nLP3ES\nITASEAS – Italian Association of Southeast Asian Studies [ITA]\nSEA Junction\nSHAPE SEA\nUniversitas Diponegoro\n\nContacts\nFor any queries\, please contact us at  summerschool.sea@unive.it. \n
