To highlight the plight of the people who fled to Mae Sot after 2021 military coup and resilience, an exhibition of murals and drawings created by teaching artists-in-residence at Joy House was displayed at SEA Junction in the weekend of 4-5 November 2023 from 11am to 7pm.
On the first day of exhibition on Saturday, 4 November 2023 at 5.00-7.00 pm, an opening panel was held along with online live performances. The panel shared insights into the mental health and psychosocial challenges faced by this undocumented community, and how community organizations are responding to their needs.
The online performances featured music, dance and martial art with performers (children and adults) affiliated with Joy House. The day after, on Sunday 5 November at 3.30pm there was in-person music performance with Myanmar harp by Bangkok-based Co-Culture Ensemble.
