MORPHOLOGY OF THE CLOUD
The Documentation Project of Myanmar Contemporary Art, Volume:5, 2025
coming soon!
Overview
Morphology of the Cloud is a new volume of the documentation series of contemporary art practices in Myanmar during a time of profound political, social, and emotional upheaval in 2023-2024. Organized by the School of Contemporary Art Project (SOCA) and supported by the Aura Contemporary Art Foundation and a virtual museum IMoCA (Initial Museum of Contemporary Art Myanmar), the project seeks to capture and reflect the shifting landscapes—both literal and metaphorical—of a country grappling with instability, memory, and resilience in mind which is cannot seen in real. Drawing inspiration from the cloud as a metaphor for transformation, ephemerality, and interconnection, the project brings together multidisciplinary works that speak to the complexities of social history, identity, and environment.
When Spirits Flow Backwards
Organized by: Myanmar Photo Archive and Goethe Institute Myanmar
Curated by Aung Myat Htay
When we look back to Myanmar history, it may seem that the current period has changed significantly from the past, but there is no divide between the past and the present in the spiritual relations. The historical contexts are connected with each other, with the reflection of the socio-political, cultural and economic values of a particular period of the country from the late monarchy to colonial time and the modern days under political uncertainties.
