ONLINE: Myanmar Voices: We Are Still Here
Karin Weber Gallery is proud to introduce ‘Myanmar Voices: We Are Still Here’, an online exhibition which highlights the resilience and fortitude of Myanmar’s contemporary artists. Curated by Southeast Asian modern and contemporary art scholar Melissa Carlson, this exhibition is another milestone in our twenty-plus year history of showcasing art from Myanmar.
‘Myanmar Voices: We Are Still Here’ celebrates the high-quality artistic production from Myanmar that is ongoing despite the current political turmoil. The show elevates the voices of Myanmar’s creative community and reminds viewers that life and art prevail and evolve, regardless of the current news cycle. Each of the artworks in the show are records of transactions between individuals and a nation, a push and a pull of expectations and big dreams, and each piece reminds us that creativity abounds, and artistic production perseveres in times of adversity.
Participating artists rank amongst Myanmar’s most compelling and work across a range of mediums, including painting, paper cuts, drawings, graffiti, and photography. The artists, including Aung Myint, Min Wae Aung, Soe Yu Nwe, Khin Thethtar Latt (‘Nora’), Kaung Su, and Bart Was Not Here, represent multiple generations of creative voices who push the boundaries of visual representations for Myanmar’s past, present, and future.
