SUMMARY:Exhibition “Bodymaps for Healing: Seeking Peace in Southern Thailand”
DESCRIPTION:Duayjai Group\, in collaboration with SEA Junction and Cross Cultural Foundation (CrCF) organized an exhibition titled “Bodymaps for Healing: Seeking Peace in Southern Thailand” between 5 to 17 September 2023 on the curved wall\, 4th floor of the BACC. \nThe showcase will encompass more than 30 bodymaps produced during a therapeutic art program with conflict-affected communities in the Southern part of Thailand. The mental effects of armed conflict\, abuses and torture on the victims as well as their families and communities are not always visibly apparent like in the case of physical injuries. They also may not manifest themselves immediately\, but rather gradually emerge over time. \nDuayjai Group has researched the psychological and social impacts on victims of abuses and tortures and their families and discovered that anxiety\, depression\, and post-traumatic stress disorder made it impossible for them to reclaim their former lives and also affected their livelihoods. In response\, Duayjai Group has been organizing psychological rehabilitation programs using art therapy to help participants to explore and embrace their emotional states\, self-awareness\, stress management\, and the restoration of self-esteem. The colorful artworks to be exhibited in Bangkok were produced through these programs and were previously exhibited in Pattani at the Pattani Art Space and in Songkhla at the University of Prince of Songkhla. \nThe exhibition aims to raise awareness about the importance of healing for all those who have suffered psychological impacts from violence\, and to foster participation among networks in order to develop a support system. It also raises awareness of the importance of effective legal and institutional frameworks for implementing fundamental human rights principles such as torture prevention and prohibition to enable a fair and effective justice system. The United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel\, Inhuman\, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (UNCAT) provides a framework for States to strengthen legislative\, policy\, and administrative measures to ensure that procedures are taken to prevent and prohibit the crime of torture\, including guidelines for investigating\, prosecuting\, and resolving allegations of torture and other ill-treatment. In Thailand\, the Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act was recently passed\, its effective enforcement is still pending. \nThe exhibition will be launched with a panel discussion on 5 September 2023\, 5:00-6:30 pm at SEA-Junction The tentative agenda is as follows: \nModerator \n\nRosalia Sciortino\, Founding Director SEA Junction\n\nOpening remarks  \n\nPornpen Khongkachonkiet\, Director of Cross Cultural Foundation\nKatia Chirizzi\, Deputy Representative of the Regional Office for South East Asia of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)\n\nPanel discussion \n\nGerda Liebmann\, Artist\nAnchana Heemmina\, Director of Duayjai Group\nRangsiman Rome\, Member of House of Representatives\nVictims’ representative\n\n \nOrganizers \nDuayjai Group \nDuayjai Group is a non-governmental organization established in 2010 to provide assistance to those affected by the unrest in the southern border provinces/Patani. Duayjai also aims to protect people from human rights violations\, provide humanitarian assistance to those affected by conflict\, and build mutual understanding between people in society to achieve long-term peace. Since 2015\, Duayjai Group has organized psychological rehabilitation programs for torture victims and their families with Cross Cultural Foundation (CrCF) under the auspices of the Fund for Victims of Torture (UNVFTV) using Art Therapy. \nCross Cultural Foundation (CrCF) \nFounded in 2002 CrCF is a non-profit organization based in Thailand. The foundation’s goal is to achieve equitable justice for all in Thailand\, and it collaborates closely with its international human rights networks to help indigenous peoples and minorities integrate and empower themselves. \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. Conveniently located at Room 407-8 of the BACC (across MBK\, BTS National Stadium)\, SEA Junction facilitates public access to knowledge resources and exchanges among students\, practitioners and Southeast Asia lovers.

SUMMARY:Call for Proposals: SEALIVES Small Grants Program
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nThe UC Berkeley Center for Southeast Asia Studies (CSEAS) is thrilled to announce that it is the recipient of a major grant from the Henry Luce Foundation Initiative on Southeast Asia for the project Southeast Asian Lives and Histories (SEALIVES). \nThe Luce grant will provide $400\,000 to support SEALIVES\, a thematic umbrella for projects conducted about Southeast Asians in Southeast Asia and the diaspora. The heart of this project focuses on biographical interviews that will highlight the life histories of Southeast Asians from different backgrounds and experiences. Linked activities\, to take place over three years (2023-2026)\, will ground this work: 1) an annual small grants program to support the gathering of interviews; 2) annual workshops on oral history methods and writing Southeast Asian lives\, including training in media/methods/ethics for long format interviews and storytelling forms including text\, film\, recordings\, and podcasts; and 3) a publication and archiving project. These components will link UC Berkeley with other campuses in the California public university system\, and with Southeast Asia-based institutions. Three additional activities will engage with different publics: colloquia in which Life History grantees report on their projects\, an annual panel discussion with a Southeast Asian literary or artistic figure\, and a final capstone conference. \nForegrounding the lives of Southeast Asians across multiple sites and through the lenses of diverse disciplines is a valuable end unto itself\, and will also generate new research\, methods\, and collections on Southeast Asia and the diaspora. Life history/biographical interviews undertaken by grantees will give voice to the lives of both prominent and ordinary Southeast Asians in their homelands\, as well as feature often under-the-radar diaspora community members in the US. For example\, such interviews could capture the voices and memories of often-silent elders in California diaspora communities or within Southeast Asia\, whose lives are linked to post-independence neo/colonial politics in the US\, Indonesia\, Cambodia\, the Philippines\, and Vietnam\, and to historical Cold War strategies and relationships. Looking at the expression and experiences of these changing times and places through people’s life stories demonstrates\, in moving and insightful ways\, the events\, contexts\, and global forces that have led to regional and global movements and diasporas as well as to the transformations of places and identities. \nWe anticipate that SEALIVES will have immediate and long-term impacts on scholars\, students\, and other public at Berkeley and beyond. A key premise of our project is that Southeast Asia must be defined by lives lived\, and not by national or regional borders. Intellectually\, our project will initiate a long overdue but critical conversation between Southeast Asian studies and Southeast Asian diaspora studies at UCB\, other UCs\, and CSUs. Showcasing the extraordinary lives of ordinary and prominent people of Southeast Asian heritage will broaden the attention to Southeast Asian Studies and deepen knowledge about Southeast Asia and Southeast Asians living in the United States. \nWe invite applications for the first year of the annual UC Berkeley CSEAS Southeast Asian Lives and Histories small grants program. Applicants must be enrolled at or affiliated with UCB\, other UCs\, CSUs\, or institutions located in Southeast Asia. Please click below for downloadable application forms and detailed instructions. Should you have any questions\, don’t hesitate to email cseas@berkeley.edu. \nDeadline: September 15\, 2023 \nFor more information\, visit the Berkeley Institute of East Asian Studies webpage \n
