Therefore, prisons are institutions which reveal core aspects of the relation between a state and its citizens. In authoritarian regimes, as Myanmar was in a very recent past, prisons are places in which people are subjected to extreme punishments. In the post- authoritarian state of transition Myanmar is currently in, legacies of past regimes linger and show their face in various forms. By studying experiences of imprisonment, this study approaches experiences of subjects whose lives are under an intense state control. As it explores their experiences, it takes the temperature of the transition as it explores what changes have occurred and what legacies remain from past political regimes. Until recently, Myanmar was closed off to the world while under military dictatorship. For the last decade, however, major changes have occurred and a political space has opened up in which it has become possible for researchers to do empirical research within the country and in which the first ever prison research project could be launched. This dissertation is part of the project Legacies of Detention in Myanmar, which explores how practices in Myanmar prisons today are shaped by legacies from past regimes. This dissertation focuses its attention on those who have gone through prisons as it analyses experiences of imprisonment in Myanmar. To do so, it builds on 15 months of ethnographic fieldwork with former and current prisoners and an action research project conducted with four former political prisoners and photographers. The dissertation poses the research question: What experiences do prisoners in Myanmar go through and how are they affected by such experiences? This question is addressed through four publications. Paper I shows how penal practices of today are affected by legacies from the past through an ethnographic history ii of the practices concerned with fetters, convict officers, amnesties and torture. Paper II shows that access to experiences of imprisonment depend on other factors than physical access to prisons. Paper III shows that liminal experiences in prison can lead to positive development or suffering, depending on the presence or absence of guidance and communitas and on whether these experiences are forced or voluntarily. In doing so, it shows that solitary confinement represent structural violence, which can lead prisoners to become ‘unhinged’ from a sense of self and reality. Finally, Paper IV discusses the role of recognition in post-liminal re-integration of former prisoners and their opportunities to re- establish their lives after release. Through these papers and the synopsis surrounding them, the dissertation shows that prisoners go through liminal experiences which can affect them in various ways. Through theory on liminal experiences, the dissertation has identified inadequacies of prisons that make them inherently harmful institutions. Prisons represent forced liminal experiences, in some cases without the guidance of a master of ceremony and a communitas with whom to go through liminality. Furthermore, upon release, when prisoners are supposed to exit liminal experiences, the lack of proper post-liminal rituals that enable parity of participation through recognition, prevent prisoners from re-establishing their lives and becoming the law- abiding citizens prisons are supposed to mould them into. In addition, the empirical contribution on prisons in Myanmar shows that legacies from the authoritarian past are still practiced within prisons in Myanmar. As a prism on the state, the prison suggests that, while in transition, Myanmar has not completely left its authoritarian past behind. This suggest

    A Delicate Balance Negotiating Isolation and Globalization in the Burmese Performing Arts Catherine Diamond If you walk on and on, you get to your destination. If you question much, you get your information. If you do not sleep and idle, you preserve your life! (Maung Htin Aung 1959:87) So go the three lines of wisdom offered to the lazy student Maung Pauk Khaing in the well- known eponymous folk tale. A group of impoverished village youngsters, led by their teacher Daw Khin Thida, adapted the tale in 2007 in their first attempt to perform a play. From a well-to-do family that does not understand her philanthropic impulses, Khin Thida, an English teacher by profession, works at her free school in Insein, a suburb of Yangon (Rangoon) infamous for its prison. The shy students practiced first in Burmese for their village audience, and then in English for some foreign donors who were coming to visit the school. Khin Thida has also bought land in Bagan (Pagan) and is building a culture center there, hoping to attract the street children who currently pander to tourists at the site’s immense network of temples.

  • PRESS RELEASE 52Nd International Art Exhibition La Biennale Di
    PRESS RELEASE 52nd International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia Migration Addicts Curated by Biljana Ciric, Karin Gavassa Various venues in public space, Venice 6th through 15th june 2007 Artists Participating: Htein Lin (Myanmar), Jin Shan (China), Li Pinghu (China), Huang Kui (China), Miljohn Ruperto (Philippines/USA), Josefina Posch (Sweden, USA), Mogas Station (Vietnam), TODO (Italy), Belén Cerezo (Spain), Yap Sau Bin (Malaysia), Hasan Elahi (Bangladesh, USA), Rizman Putra (Singapore) Migration Addicts has been selected from hundreds of submissions from around the world for the Collateral Events, a section of the Biennale which shows public museum quality projects chosen by Robert Storr, the Artistic Director of the 52. Venice Biennale. Migration Addicts began as an ongoing project two years ago in Shanghai, investigating how migration re-determines issues related to human identity, gender and spiritual needs. The fast expansion of urban spaces, following the model of big cities, has led to new social conflicts within the social structure. Recently the tension between Western and Chinese traditional values and lifestyles, as well as the late arriving of capitalism and the persisting communism, have not hindered the Chinese impulse towards assimilating the “international standards”, while fostering its own economic development. The project is touching upon topics which concern not only Shanghai but many other expanding Asian and Western cities. The structure of the exhibition is based on a series of interventions that will take place throughout the public space in Venice, articulating new perspectives entrenched directly in the urban environment, and methodologically operating in time and in space. The exhibition investigates the questions of temporal and spatial strategies which deal with this situation.

  • ASIA HOUSE GALLERY PRESS RELEASE July 2007 Htein Lin
    Asia House ASIA HOUSE GALLERY 63 New Cavendish Street PRESS RELEASE London July 2007 W1G 7LP Tel: 0044 20 7307 5454 [email protected] Htein Lin: Burma Inside Out 27 July to 13 October 2007 Co-curated by Katriana Hazell and Vicky Bowman Asia House is proud to present the first UK exhibition of Burmese artist Htein Lin. This powerful body of work was produced between 1998 and 2004, at a time when Htein Lin had been imprisoned by the Burmese/Myanmar military government, accused of planning opposition protests. Already an established contemporary artist, as well as a comic actor and performance artist, he continued to paint secretly whilst in jail, using white cotton prison uniforms as a substitute for canvas and producing well over 230 works. While he was able to arrange for paints to be smuggled in by supportive prison guards, brushes proved difficult to obtain, and dangerous to keep. So he improvised with a variety of materials, such as soap blocks, syringes, cigarette lighters, pieces of netting, plates and mugs, and his own body, developing innovative printing techniques. The abstract and figurative images that resulted depict prison life, the memories, hopes, fears and dreams of prisoners, Buddhist faith, and memorable events spent behind bars, like the Millennium. In November 2004, shortly before the end of his sentence, a purging of Myanmar Military Intelligence was followed by a review of many prisoners’ cases. The military government informed Htein Lin that the case against him was unproven, and he would be freed. On his release he thanked his jailers for providing him with the opportunity and inspiration to develop his art, and to quit smoking and drinking.

  • Short Introduction to Myanmar Performance Art
    Short Introduction to Myanmar Performance Art Mingalarbar! Greetings from Myanmar! This is a short introduction to the development on performance art in Myanmar. In western countries and some Asian countries, performance art is said to have been conceived in 1960s. Let's have a look at what was happening in Myanmar at that time. The country was under the control of Burma Socialist Programme Party for 26 years from 1962 to 1988. It can also be considered the beginning of an endless dictatorship. Art related books were few and far between and only three books about Modern Art were published. One was From Tradition to the Modern penned by Bagyi Aung Soe, a senior artist who sought education at the famed Shantiniketan. This book encouraged local artists to incorporate Modern Art techniques into their works. Another book was called Abstract Art. A young Japanese-Myanmar artist wrote it and it explained what Modern Art is. Third book is called “ Searching for aesthetic”_ crecitc on modern art. These three books were all there was in 1960s and 1970s. In such a closed society, Myanmar artists were very much in the dark about what was going on in the international arts scene. But they made use of whatever resource was available, and they consistently practiced Modern Art. On 8, August 1988, led by university students, people took to the streets to topple the military regime. Remembered as the 8888 Uprising, it was the biggest revolution against dictatorship in the history of post-colonial Myanmar. As a result, the notorious Socialist government resigned.
