SUMMARY:Painting Exhibition “Universe of Colors”
DESCRIPTION:Organized by SEA Junction\, the painting exhibition “Universe of Colors” by Erica Hestu Wahyuni will run from 29 November to 11 December 2022 on the curved wall\, 4th floor of Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC). The exhibition will include her newly created pieces as well as her recently exhibited pieces as part of the Bridge of Colors: Indonesian Painting Exhibition at the National Gallery of Thailand. \nTypically\, Erica depicts her experiences in scenes with main characters in extremely busy environments. The theme of her painting is about a happy journey to enjoy the universe and how the harmony of the universe. Its contents greatly determine human survival. The painting tells the story of parts of Indonesian heritage. There are also mangroves\, elephants\, trees\, and the island of Bali. She takes an interest in the scenes’ surroundings\, painting them with great detail. Erica animates the objects in the surroundings to make them become part and parcel of the subject matter of the work. \n \nArtist Brief Bio \nBorn in Yogyakarta\, Java in 1971\, Erica started painting in primary school\, joining a children’s drawing club (Sanggar Katamsi)\, which was taught by Suharto PR and Herry Wibowo – both established painters. Later she studied painting at the prestigious Indonesian Fine Art Institute in Yogyakarta\, Indonesia and Surikov Institute of Art\, Russia.  In 1993\, her work was selected for the International Triennale Competition of Painting in Osaka\, Japan. Erica held her first solo exhibition at the Purna Budaya in 1995\, officiated by the sultan of Yogyakarta\, which turned out to be a successful event. Since then she has exposed all over the world most recently in Austria and Vietnam. \nErica’s naive\, playful renditions have ascertained her reputation as one of the most sought-after contemporary artists in Southeast Asia. Each work contains interesting narrative qualities\, which reveal the worldview of the artist. \nOrganizer \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:Burma Spring: Poetry & Photography in Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Authoritarian rulers the world over have demonstrated time and again their holy terror of the subversive. The lengths to which they will go in order to silence or exterminate writers\, artists and intellectuals is proof positive. We have seen time and again how feared and hated are people who dare to question and challenge\, to speak out and act out in defiance of oppression. We are seeing it today in Myanmar\, formerly known as Burma. Since the February 2021 coup and the consequent Spring Revolution\, the military government has cracked down with excessive force\, hunting down\, imprisoning\, beating to death\, burning alive\, or simply disappearing its victims with impunity. Unsurprisingly\, the earliest victims of military violence were poets\, artists\, and entertainers – the usual suspects in totalitarian states. What’s telling\, however\, was that these ‘threats to public security’ in the Myanmar Spring weren’t targeted for their ideas or aesthetics. They were targeted because they served as foot soldiers at the frontlines of protest. They were among the unarmed protesters who took to the streets day after day\, who braved the bullets and manned the barricades\, in the almost certain knowledge that for them the battle could only end in death\, or worse. This is why poets were martyred in the early Myanmar Spring; they were literally living out Diego Rivera’s dictum that “the role of the artist is that of the soldier of the revolution.” (Excerpt from the book introduction by Wendy Law-Yone) \nThe book Burma Spring presents 14 poets and 7 photographers from Myanmar and Rohingya ethnic group\, in exile\, imprisoned or killed by the army during the military coup in February 2021. Others are forced to hide their identity. Their works are testimonies of shock\, anger and determination. The poems and images selected bear witness to a profound revolution – of spirit\, mind\, and heart – now known as the Myanmar Spring. \nThe book will be launched with an artist talk on the occasion of International Women Human Rights Defenders Day on 29 November\, 6 pm at SEA Junction\, 4th floor\, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC). Organized by the Embassy of Luxembourg\, SEA Junction and Intersections Gallery\, the book editor Mayco Naing will be joined with Thai performance artist Kawita Vatanajyankur in a discussion moderated by Marie-Pierre Mol. Some photographs from the book will also be on display at SEA Junction from 22 to 29 November 2022. \n \n  \nOrganizers: \nThe Embassy of Luxembourg in Bangkok has regional responsibilities and covers the following territories: Indonesia\, Laos\, Malaysia\, Myanmar\, Singapore\, Thailand and Vietnam.
