Creative Platform Series by Japan Foundation Yangon

Written By Phoo Myat Thwe

From September 2018 to March 2019, I worked together with the Japan Foundation Yangon for Creative Platform Talk series, which invited Southeast Asian artists and art practitioners to Yangon, offering Myanmar-based artists a chance to exchange experiences and knowledge with other countries in SEA region.

Over the period of 7 months, 7 talks were held. My role in this project is writing reviews for each talk, which are later published through social media platforms and as a booklet, so as to let knowledge gathered by the project spread to a wider audience.

You can download the full content of the book on the Japan Foundation Yangon official website.
