SUMMARY:Exhibition “Living Memories: 20 Years Tak Bai Incident”
DESCRIPTION:Background \nOn 2 March 2024 at 5.30PM\, the Deep South Museum and Archives Initiative (DSMA) in collaboration with SEA Junction will hold the opening of the exhibition “Living Memories: 20 Years of Tak Bai”\, with a discussion of the book “Tak Bai 2004: Taste of Memories” produced by DSMA. Both the exhibition\, to be displayed at SEA Junction\, Room 407-408\, 4th Floor BACC from 2 to 10 March\, and the book discussion are to commemorate the 20 years of the 2004 incident in Tak Bai\, raise awareness of what is considered one of the deadliest incident to occur in the Southern Provinces and in Thailand\, and seek justice for the victims.  This is the begin of a series of event\, the DSMA will be holding in 2024\, to be followed by a major exhibition entitled “Indelible 20 Years of Tak Bai” on 4 March – 31 July 2024 at the Princess Sirindhorn Anthropology Center. \nThe book and the exhibition activities are the result of interviews conducted with the families of the victims of Tak Bai\, including those who died\, were injured\, or went missing\, and other individuals that were in some ways involved in the incident. The experiences and recollections they’ve recounted weigh heavily against the silence of the years gone by. \nThis painful process of bringing silenced memories to light and the reasons why such memories matter to Thai society today will be highlighted in the book discussion. The panel\, to be followed by Q & A\, is moderated by Ekraj Sabur of the International Institute of Peace and Development Studies (IIPDS) and composed as follows: \nNualnoi Thammasatian\, independent journalist \nKusra Mukdavijit\, book editor of “Tak Bai 2004: Taste of Memories” \nNikarema Hayeeniloh\, field researcher\, Deep South Museum and Archives’ Initiative  \nPatporn Phoothong\, researcher Deep South Museum and Archives’ Initiative  \n  \nAt the opening event the book will be distributed to participants and there will be Southern Thai snacks to offer a flavor of the region. \n \nFor more information\, please email: info@seajunction.org or phone/wa: +66970024140 \nNB: The event is free\, but donations are welcome to support SEA Junction activities. \nOrganizers: \nDeep South Museum and Archives’ Initiative (DSMA) \nDSMA is an attempt to establish a public learning space in the service of building a democratic space where a plurality of views and experiences can be shared. Systematic data collection together with education can help to build knowledge and understanding whilst\, at the same time\, preserving and restoring people’s memories. By putting forward the facts\, we seek to challenge impunity and overcome efforts to forget. This\, we believe\, is at the core of the transitional justice process. \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 Bangkok Arts and Culture Center or BACC (across MBK\, BTS National Stadium)\, SEA Junction facilitates public access to knowledge resources and exchanges among students\, practitioners and Southeast Asia lovers.

SUMMARY:Exhibition “Thread Under Threat: Invincible Myanmar Women Who Dare!”
DESCRIPTION:Well-known Myanmar artist Chuu Wai’s solo exhibition is born out of solidarity with the opposition movement in Myanmar that has been fighting for democracy since the coup d’état led by General Min Aung Hlaing on 1 February 2021. It resonates with the resilience of the people of Myanmar\, especially the women among them. Following the first display in Bangkok titled “Thread Under Threat: Myanmar Women Out of the 3-Year Coup Shadow\,” the exhibition in Chiang Mai will be held under the name “Thread Under Threat: Invincible Myanmar Women Who Dare!” from 8 to 27 March 2024 at the Baan Tuek Art Center. The exhibition in Chiang Mai is organized by the Regional Center for Social Science and Sustainable Development (RCSD)\, Thanakha International Gender Tekkatho and SEA Junction. The exhibition will then be showcased again in April\, in partnership with the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC)\, at BACC pop-up space\, Zone MUNx2\, Seacon Square Srinakarin. \nFor three years now\, Myanmar people have been demanding the restoration of democracy and the rule of law and the release of the imprisoned leaders and all other political in spite of the military’s use of lethal force. As of February 2024\, 4\,572 people are confirmed killed by the junta and a total of 26\,171 people have been arrested\, with 20\,166 currently detained including more than 5\,000 women. The number of displaced people in the country and across borders is over 2 million and growing. Amidst the failure of the international community to pay attention and take action\, people are not giving up\, continuing their support for the opposition National Unity Government (NUG) in exile and counting on their steadfast opposition and the armed resistance by the People Defence Force and the Ethnic Armies gaining ground to eventually win the revolution. \nThe exhibition displays the powerful portrayal of women figures in Chuu Wai’s paintings celebrating International Women’s Day on 8 March. The paintings with mixed material shine a spotlight on the strength\, resilience\, and indomitable spirit of women who have stood against the oppressive forces of both patriarchal and authoritarian values. These figures become symbols of defiance\, challenging preconceptions and inspiring a movement towards a more just and democratic society. \nMore generally\, the artworks radiate the resilient spirit and unique culture of Myanmar as a resource to draw upon in the current context. Utilizing handwoven fabric\, vintage photos\, and newspaper clippings\, the exhibition celebrates the country’s uniqueness while also unveiling and challenging the complex tapestry meticulously woven by those in power through education\, religion\, and traditional normative systems directed at perpetuating an authoritarian and patriarchal system\, which people are set to change. \nThe opening event of the exhibition will take place on 8 March at 3:30 pm\, with further details to be announced soon. \n \nFor more information\, please email info@seajunction.org or call +6697-002-4140 \nOrganizers: \nRegional Center for Social Science and Sustainable Development (RCSD)  \nThe RCSD was established as an academic unit under the Faculty of Social Sciences\, Chiang Mai University in 1998.
