Throughout 2024, the Goethe-Institut Myanmar collaborated with Myanmar experts in type and font design to conduct a year-long series of programs focused on font creation and study.

As the concluding program of this initiative, an online event will be held featuring Ben Mitchell, a UK-based type designer and font developer, together with Myanmar font designers, sharing insights on font design creativity, concepts, and methodologies.

The program will take place on 8 and 9 December via Zoom. Detailed information and registration will be announced soon on the Goethe-Institut Myanmar’s social media platforms.

Following the selection of participants for the Curious Academy Myanmar—jointly organized by the Goethe-Institut Myanmar and the School of Contemporary Art (SoCA)—the program is scheduled to begin in early December.

The program centers on curiosity-driven approaches to learning within artistic creation and will include interactive learning formats that explore new creative territories and cross-disciplinary practices.
Running from December 2025 to March 2026, the program will feature leading facilitators from Myanmar, Germany, the United States, and Singapore.

The 13 groups participating in the Goethe-Institut Myanmar’s Towards Empathy program have spent the past two months engaging in discussions on themes, concepts, and examples related to empathy, each from different approaches and perspectives.

A program showcasing and exchanging the outcomes of these group discussions was also held on 8 November at the Goethe-Institut Myanmar in a hybrid format. Further updates and upcoming activities will be shared on the Goethe-Institut Myanmar’s online platforms.

The exhibition of the program Within & Beyond: Reimagining Art across Distances will take place from 12 to 18 December at the Goethe-Institut Myanmar. The program aims to present artworks that reflect on the phrase “distance and disconnection,” exploring not only its impact—forms of separation, transformation, and interruption— but also the connections, interactions, understandings, and feelings that emerge across distances, as well as the similarities and differences shaped by them.

The exhibition will feature eight Myanmar artists based in countries including Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, France, the Czech Republic, and Sweden, along with three Myanmar curators. Further details about the exhibition program will be shared on the Goethe-Institut Myanmar’s online platforms.
