Please Enjoy Our Tragedies: Art as a Voice for Myanmar’s Forgotten Struggle

When Myanmar’s fledgling democracy was destroyed, Sai’s life was turned upside down and his father was imprisoned. Sai and his wife K hid in secret. As Myanmar faded from international headlines, they knew they had to take action, and created a series of unique artworks.

Armed with this work, they flee to Europe, on a mission to use it as a form of activism. They are haunted by Myanmar’s abuses, visa problems, and the constant threat to visitors. Sai begins to doubt his mission and ability to effect lasting change as he gets more and more involved.
