The exhibition, featuring the work of Myanmar artist Shwe Wutt Hmon, is born out of solidarity with the people of Myanmar that has been fighting for democracy since the coup d’état led by General Min Aung Hlaing on 1 February 2021. SEA Junction presents this fourth commemorative art exhibition as part of its commitment to raise awareness of the Myanmar coup crisis among the general public through art. This year, the focus of the exhibition is on the coup’s aftermath as an “odyssey”, to signify the long and perilous journey in challenging the dictatorship as well as the patriarchal norms at its core, and also the displacement of people from Myanmar within and outside the country. The art photographer, Shwe Wutt Hmon expresses these intersecting messages through three artwork series in mixed media that together provide a multi-faceted image of the still enduring odyssey as the fight for a New Myanmar continues.
