SUMMARY:Exhibition “Never Give Up: 2 Years into the Myanmar Coup” — Part II
DESCRIPTION:The 1st of February 2023 marks the second anniversary of military dictatorship in Myanmar. Since the coup\, people have suffered under the repressive military rule in a collapsed state. They have experienced daily violation of rights\, war crimes and crimes against humanity\, murder\, sexual violence\, and torture. By December 2022\, the United Nations estimated that there were 1.5 million displaced people; 34\,000 destroyed homes; villages burned to the ground; a looming food crisis; and 140\,000 Rohingya in de facto internment camps while others suffer deprivation and discrimination rooted in their lack of citizenship. In addition to the trauma inflicted in people\, the military coup has “crippled Myanmar’s economy”\, as millions have lost their incomes\, the national currency has plummeted\, and prices have surged. \nAnd despite it all\, people have continued to fight for justice. Since the early days of the military coup\, people’s response against the military has been unapologetic: pot-banging\, ribbon wearing\, being silent\, joining the civil disobedience movement\, clasping hands during peaceful protests\, making opposition art works in multiple forms\, or raising the three-finger salute. These are just a fraction of the many acts of civil disobedience despite the collective terror suffered. Differently from what has been happening in the past\, a nation-wide revolutionary project has started that cuts across diverse age\, socio-economic and identity groups\, including an assertion of the rights of those who have been left at the margins ethnic\, religious\, and sexual minorities. The message is the same: Never give up! \nHonoring this spirit of creativity and resilience\, the two-part art exhibitions “Never Give Up: 2 Years into the Myanmar Coup” gather artworks of artists from Myanmar. Through poems\, videos\, photographs and paintings\, they reflect on the ongoing challenges while stressing the centrality of human rights as well as their vision and hopes for a new just future for Myanmar. \nOrganized by SEA Junction in collaboration with Doh Hlay\, the exhibitions showcasing the artworks from a larger online exhibition at www.dohhlay.com are on display from 24 January to 5 February (Part I) on the curved wall\, 4th floor and from 21 February to 5 March 2023 (Part II) on the curved wall\, 3rd floor of the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC).

SUMMARY:Governing by Paper: Mediating Textual Border and Negotiating Mobility in Thailand
DESCRIPTION:SEA Junction in collaboration with IPSR In-House Seminar and Mahidol Migration Centre (MMC) has launched a series of bi-monthly events entitled ‘Wednesday SEA Mobilities’\, starting in February 2022. The last Wednesday of every two months we will jointly hold seminars or panels discussing vast arrays of current Southeast Asia’s mobility issues by experts\, academics\, practitioners\, NGO workers\, migrants\, and people from the fields. Our next session will be on 1 March 2023 at 12.30-1.30 pm \nOur next event on 1 March 2023 at 12.30-1.30 pm will be a presentation by Professor Pinkaew Luangaramsri on her article “Governing by paper: mediating textual border and negotiating mobility in Thailand”. The online event will be broadcast on Zoom at https://bit.ly/WEDNESDAY-SEA-MOBILITIES and also on the FB pages of IPSR and of SEA Junction. \n  \nArticle’s Abstract \nThe relationship between border and bureaucracy offers fertile ground to study how the border continues to affect the lives and movement of people. As epistemological and material sites\, borders and their document networks work to produce categories of people. The production of border documents also creates various forms of mediator that traverse in and outside the state arena. Such fluidity of the documentary traffic thus generates a subversive economy that facilitates an unauthorized mobility\, which undermines the efficiency of the state document itself. While the anthropology of border attempts to redefine the border’s spatio-temporality through examining border practices\, state and border crossing populations remain the key actors. This article attempts to move away from the duality of the relationship between state and border dweller by investigating the politics of border mediation. It argues that bureaucratic ID documentation in Thailand has been a significant tool that not only defines the migrants\, but also shapes the way in which the border is (re)made. While the aim of the bureaucratic document is to serve the state’s objective of border control\, the circulation of documents has created extra-state industries\, such as extortion\, bribery and brokerage\, that allow the fluid labourscape to flourish. \nSpeaker’s Profile \nPinkaew Laungaramsri is Assistant Professor of Anthropology in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology\, Chiang Mai University. Her research interests include politics of nature conservation\, the rights of upland minorities\, border studies\, women’s movements\, development critiques\, and social movements. She has extensive experience in the fields of ethnic minority rights\, upland livelihood and conservation\, gender and transnational movements\, and the political movement of local people in northern Thailand. \n \nOrganizers \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.
