S-3-Episode-10-Using Arts To Challenge Harmful Norms
"If you look at the history of art, it was used for aesthetic reasons like drawing portraits and then gradually now, we use art as a medium to send messages for social, political issues that we want to highlight."Yadanar Win is a multi-media artist that means a performance, video, and installation artist based in Yangon. Her unique ability to seamlessly join her own body, to the document of her performance, and bring them together into an art object is reflective of her generation’s willingness to experiment with all mediums and abandon the traditional painting and sculpture so common in Myanmar art scene. Her performances are passionate and critical, often citing the plight of Myanmar’s peace process or personal struggles as a young, female artist.Follow our socials for further updatesFacebook : www.facebook.com/gtawzagarwyne/Sound Cloud : https://soundcloud.com/g-taw-zagar-wyne-podcastSpotify : open.spotify.com/show/4W80LIG2haqa3NxiJvF7ABPlease contact us at gtawzagarwyne@gmail.com for any inquiry.#generationaljustice#GTaw_season3 #gtawzagarwyne
