C a r e. Exhibition Book

Written By Phoo Myat Thwe

C a r e. Exhibition took place in Yangon at Goethe Instiut Myanmar Auditorium, from 26th July to 1st August 2022. The exhibition explored the concept of “Care”, what kind of activities/ actions could belong to this expression. The exhibition examined artistic ways of community care and collective trauma healing, which is seen as essential work for the public after the February 2021 coup in Myanmar.

The exhibition book features artworks from the exhibitions, conversations with artists moderated by the curator, articles on trauma art/ trauma healing art practices in Myanmar.
