Dear Partners and Friends of SEA Junction,
In May we successfully held the second event of the regular series “Wielding the funding strings of civil society in Southeast Asia” with OSF and we will continue to explore the issue of home-grown philanthropy also this month with the series’ third event.
June is further dedicated to the human impacts of conflict with a panel on “rebuilding lives” and a photo exhibition on the daily activities of people in the Southern part of Thailand.
In contrast, the sunny side of the region will be exposed in the contribution to a panel on reverse glass paintings in Southeast Asia at the 3rd SEAMEO SPAFA International Conference on Southeast Asian Archeology (SPAFACON2019) with a possible (still tentative) pre-conference panel on the same topic at SEA Junction.
We hope you will find our monthly program of interest. We count on your participation and help in sharing the information about our events with your network. And, if you would like to support us, please click on the donation box below.
As we enter our 4th year on 25 June, we also wish to thank all our funding and enabling partners, our institutional and individual supporters, our staff, volunteers and interns and all the participants who have allowed us to be what we are today: thank you for your continued engagement in expanding the space for public discourse in Southeast Asia together with us!
Best regards,
Lia Sciortino Sumaryono
Founder and Executive Director SEA Junction
