Take the chance to witness the transformative power of performance art in Myanmar's cultural history.

A bridge was formed to connect people and memories from the past with present creative individuals. The creative works that resonate from the interrelation formed by this bridge have broken the concept of linear time. The past is no longer confined to history, nor is the present solely here and now.
 
“Rethink” marks our inaugural display of photographs, paintings, drawings, films, and written pieces, all created through an Open Call to reinterpret the extensive photographic materials of the Myanmar Photo Archive. This opportunity allowed 40 artists and writers to work with photographs and postcards from the collection, applying their craft, rendition, and personal interest to the images' subjects and contexts.
 
“Rethink” transcends the boundaries of a traditional exhibition. We warmly invite you to engage actively with the artworks, encouraging questioning and sharing your insights regarding what you see, hear, and feel. What does the artwork say to you? What emotions does it make you feel?
 
This project was made possible by the generous support of the Goethe-Institut Myanmar. We cordially invite you to join us in exploring the intersections of time and creativity as we collectively “Rethink” the artworks that bridge connections from the past to the present.
