  • A Kachin Case Study
    MUSEUMS, DIASPORA COMMUNITIES AND DIASPORIC CULTURES A KACHIN CASE STUDY HELEN MEARS PHD 2019 0 Abstract This thesis adds to the growing body of literature on museums and source communities through addressing a hitherto under-examined area of activity: the interactions between museums and diaspora communities. It does so through a focus on the cultural practices and museum engagements of the Kachin community from northern Myanmar. The shift in museum practice prompted by increased interaction with source communities from the 1980s onwards has led to fundamental changes in museum policy. Indeed, this shift has been described as “one of the most important developments in the history of museums” (Peers and Brown, 2003, p.1). However, it was a shift informed by the interests and perspectives of an ethnocentric museology, and, for these reasons, analysis of its symptoms has remained largely focussed on the museum institution rather than the communities which historically contributed to these institutions’ collections. Moreover, it was a shift which did not fully take account of the increasingly mobile and transnational nature of these communities. This thesis, researched and written by a museum curator, was initiated by the longstanding and active engagement of Kachin people with historical materials in the collections of Brighton Museum & Art Gallery. In closely attending to the cultural interests and habits of overseas Kachin communities, rather than those of the Museum, the thesis responds to Christina Kreps’ call to researchers to “liberate our thinking from Eurocentric notions of what constitutes the museum and museological behaviour” (2003, p.x). Through interviews with individual members of three overseas Kachin communities and the examination of a range of Kachin-related cultural productions, it demonstrates the extent to which Kachin people, like museums, are highly engaged in heritage and cultural preservation, albeit in ways which are distinctive to normative museum practices of collecting, display and interpretation.

  • Myanmar Humanitarian Fund 2018 – Second Standard Allocation
    MHF Allocation Strategy Paper | 1 Allocation Strategy Paper Myanmar Humanitarian Fund 2018 – Second Standard Allocation Submission Deadline: Sunday, 25 November 2018 (23:59 Yangon time) I. ALLOCATION OVERVIEW A) Introduction / Humanitarian situation The Myanmar Humanitarian Fund (MHF) is an OCHA‐managed country‐based pooled fund (CBPF) led by the Humanitarian Coordinator to provide emergency response to urgent needs of people affected by natural disasters or conflict. Since 2007, the MHF has mobilized $45.4 million, providing life‐saving assistance to 1.8 million people through 122 projects.1 A total of US$5 million will be made available from the MHF under this Second Standard Allocation for 2018, which will target humanitarian activities in Kachin, Shan, Rakhine and Chin States. As per analysis conducted, 62 per cent ($3.1 million) of the expected allocation will target activities in Kachin and Shan states, while 33 per cent ($1.65 million) will focus on activities in Rakhine State and 5 per cent ($250,000) in Paletwa Township, in Chin State. Protracted crises in Kachin, Shan and Rakhine continue to bring suffering to many thousands of people in Myanmar, who are affected by displacement and serious protection issues. In the northern part of the country (Kachin and Shan states), civilians continue to bear the brunt of the conflict, with fighting often taking place in or near to civilian areas. Many people in Kachin and Shan have been displaced multiple times. The conflict has escalated since the beginning of the 2018 and about 28,000 civilians have fled conflict and been temporarily displaced since January 2018.
