SUMMARY:Portraits of the Anonymous: Breaking Gender Stereotypes in Myanmar Spring Revolution
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition\, featuring the work of Myanmar artist Lily\, was born out of solidarity with the people of Myanmar that has been fighting for democracy since the coup d’état led by General Min Aung Hlaing on 1 February 2021. Within a matter of days\, youths and older people from all walks of life began to pour onto the streets in outrage and protest against the military. Since then\, for almost five years now\, the population has been demanding the restoration of democracy and the release of the imprisoned leaders and all other political prisoners in spite of the military’s use of lethal force. \nTheir resistance has come at a heavy price. As of 22 July 2025\, 6\,980 people have been confirmed killed by the junta\, and a total of 29\,417 people have been arrested\, with 22\,193 currently detained\, and 172 people have been sentenced to death. 620 children have been arrested and 856 children killed (AAPP). The number of displaced people in the country and across borders is over 3 million and growing as young people leave the country to escape from forced conscription in the army. \nThis art exhibition\, previously exhibited by SEA Junction\, speaks about a collective history of women artists who were part of the Burmese Spring Revolution\, vividly memorialising their struggles\, strengths\, labours\, and often forgotten contributions. The series is entitled “Portraits of the Anonymous”\, in reference to the quote adapted from a line of writer Virginia Woolf: “ For most of history\, anonymous was a woman”. Women who were among the crowds of photographers who documented the military coup remain invisible and anonymous to these days\, yet many women lens-based practitioners\, from photographers and filmmakers to photojournalists and artists\, were on the frontline and took risks to cover the 2021 coup d’état. Against the background of coup-wise images\, shot by each participating artist herself\, these women are portrayed with photos of their works\, along with their testimonies to document their stories and make them visible. \n \n  \nOrganizers  \nThis exhibition is organized and curated by BACC pop・up in collaboration with SEA Junction \nSEA Junction\, located at Room 407-8 of the BACC\, aims to foster understanding and appreciation of Southeast Asia in all its socio-cultural dimensions\, from arts and lifestyles to economy and development (see seajunction.org) \nBACC pop・up is a collaboration of the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC)\, the main art meeting place of the City of Bangkok\, with Seacon Square as part of their MunMun Art Destination (MMAD) project.

She was part of the protest against the coup that overthrew the democratic government in the Spring of 2021 and now lives abroad. Lily’s poetically inclined repertoire often includes intimate\, contemplative images shot within private\, enclosed spaces. \n

SUMMARY:54th #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar Monthly Updates
DESCRIPTION:On 30 September 2025 at 4-5pm (Bangkok Time)\, SEA Junction in collaboration with media partners\, Mizzima and The Irrawaddy\, will hold the 54th #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar Monthly Updates. This update series aim of contributing to a greater understanding of the crisis situation there for informed action in support of the democratic movement in the country and beyond. \nSince February 2021\, Myanmar has been in turmoil as the Myanmar Army\, known as Tatmadaw\, detained State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint following a general election which Suu Kyi’s NLD party won by a landslide. The coup by General Min Aung Hlaing brought an end to a decade of semi-democratic rule and returned full power to the military. Courageously\, the population has been resisting and demanding the release of the imprisoned leaders and restoration of the democratic rule and the National Unity Government (NUG) has been formed by the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH)\, a group of elected lawmakers and members of parliament ousted in the coup. Economic collapse amid escalating conflict is making of Myanmar a failed state\, with many leaving the country in search of refuge and opportunities. The global community has overall condemned the coup and the military abuses\, but concerted diplomatic interventions are still too bland. Since then\, for four years now\, the population has been demanding the restoration of democracy and the release of the imprisoned leaders and all other political prisoners in spite of the military’s use of lethal force. Amidst the failure of the international community to respond and take action\, people are not giving up\, continuing their support for the opposition National Unity Government (NUG) in exile. Many young people have taken up arms and joined the armed struggle as a last recourse against dictatorship\, with many counting on the armed resistance by the People Defense Force and the Ethnic Armies gaining ground to eventually win the revolution. \nThe update aims to contribute to a greater understanding of the crisis situation in Myanmar for informed action in support of the democratic movement in the country and beyond. It is meant to be short informal dialogues with a speaker who provides an analysis of the latest events in the preceding two weeks for about 20 minutes before the moderator\, SEA Junction’s Founder and Director Rosalia Sciortino\, opens the floor for questions and answers. Our former speakers include Aung Zaw\, Founder and Director of The Irrawaddy; Khin Ohmar\, a well-known Peace and Security Advocate; Debbie Stothard\, an active promoter of human rights in Burma and the ASEAN regions; May Zin Thaw\, the founder of a local think tank institute Researchers’ Republic and Toe Zaw Latt\, R&D consultant\, Mizzima Media Group. From August 2025 onward\, Debbie Stothard of ALTSEAN will provide an analysis of the latest events and will stay with us for the next 6 weeks. \nTo participate\, tune in for the monthly update planned for 30 September 2025 at 4-5pm (Bangkok Time) via Zoom (Link: whatshappeninginmyanmar2025) and Facebook Live on our page: SEA Junction\, Mizzima-Myanmar News – English Edition\, and The Irrawaddy – English Edition. \n \nSpeaker Profile: \nDebbie Stothard is the coordinator of Alternative Asean Network on Burma (ALTSEAN-Burma)\, an NGO campaigning for human rights and democracy in the ASEAN region\, with a particular focus on Burma\, which she founded in 1996.

From its inception in 1993\, The Irrawaddy has been an independent news media group\, unaffiliated with any political party\, organization or government. Founded in Thailand by a group of young Burmese activists who were forced to flee the persecution of the then military regime over the 1988 democracy uprisings\, The Irrawaddy has a strong belief in democracy\, and the crucial role of independent and accountable media for a democratic society. Since the opening up of the country in 2012\, The Irrawaddy was able to move to Myanmar and operate from within the country\, but it is now being threatened and its journalists are at grave risks as they continue reporting.
