Burma at a Glance: ‘Bespoke’ and ‘Skirting the Issue’

Description

There are two parts to this exhibition. Bespoke mirrors Myanmar’s current spiritual, political and material existence whereas Skirting the Issue is a collaborative project with Burmese women who reflect on accepted doctrines that lead to gender inequality.

From a series of vibrant and elaborately-patterned paintings on traditional Burmese skirts called Longyi, to a sculptural installation made from wagon wheels, the show delves into the diverse sides and histories—the dark and the colourful—of the nation.
