A Celebration of Life through the Arts under the Junta

CHIANG MAI, Thailand, Dec 17 (IPS) – The Burmese military spares nothing with its iron grip on power – not even art.
So what happens when the vibrant artistic community in the country seeks to express itself through such contemporary forms as performance art is common. Expect a visit from the censors to check content. In August, one show in Rangoon, the former capital, had such a visit.
The officials from the ministry of information’s censorship board frown on topics like politics and anti-junta sentiments in the military-ruled country – and sex. The August show had little such content. The nine artists performed hours before the show formally opened and the censors moved on.
Such limits in the South-east Asian nation have compelled the spreading crop of contemporary painters to look elsewhere for inspiration and to respond to their times. Instead of anger and political rage, canvases tend to celebrate the vibrant colour, distinct motifs and modern interpretations of Burma.
Nay Myo Say’s solo exhibition that opened early this month in the northern Thai city offers a window into such artistic sensibilities. The universal image of pain and suffering that the world has come to identify with Burma – thanks to the international media and the country’s pro-democracy movement – is nowhere in sight in the 21 canvases that adorn the walls at the Suvannabhumi Art Gallery, the only one in Thailand dedicated to Burmese art.
The 42-year-old Burma-based painter has returned to the female form, a favourite of his, for this third solo exhibition at the Chiang Mai gallery that runs from Dec. 4 to 25. His oils explore women from the past. Their faces convey serenity and grace.
The larger canvases are a modern-day meditation of aristocratic ladies from “ancient days.” Their gentle black brushstrokes and fluid outlines highlight details against a splash of bright yellows and orange. Continue reading “A Celebration of Life through the Arts under the Junta”
Weapons impounded from mystery aircraft at Don Mueang airport will be destroyed
BANGKOK, Dec 17 (TNA) – All the military weapons from North Korea seized last weekend at Bangkok’s Don Mueang airport will be destroyed under the terms of a United Nations resolution, according to Thai Minister of Foreign Affairs Kasit Piromya.
Mr Kasit told reporters after meeting with deputy prime minister Suthep Thaugsuban that the heavy weapons found on board the plane and subsequently seized would be destroyed, as it was not appropriate for the kingdom to use them in its armed forces.
He said Thailand should show that the kingdom is a good member of the United Nations and strictly observed its resolution.
The United Nations Security Council resolution number 1874 (2009) banned North Korea from exporting any weapons was imposed in June after the reclusive communist regime conducted a nuclear test and test-fired missiles.
Thai police impounded the Russian-built Georgian Ilyushin IL-76 aircraft Saturday and discovered 35 tonnes of explosives, rocket-propelled grenades and components for surface-to-air missiles in its cargo hold.
The plane’s five crew members, a Belarussian pilot and four Kazakh crew, have been charged in Thailand with possessing war weapons. However, they deny knowing what they were transporting, according to the police.
Initial reports said the plane was flown from the United Arab Emirates to Don Mueang airport in the Thai capital last Wednesday and landed without any cargo for a refuelling stop, then continued on to North Korean capital of Pyongyang.
It left for the North Korean capital and returned to Bangkok again on Saturday for a scheduled refuelling before flying on to Sri Lanka.
Prime Minister Abhisit earlier conceded that the seller and buyer of the weapons remains unknown, and there is no evidence to prove that Russian arms dealer Victor Bout (now being held in Thailand) is involved in the arms smuggling.
Mr Kasit said that for its next step, the government will inform the United Nations through Thailand’s Permanent Representative of Thailand in New York. (TNA)

WFP Boosts Opium Cultivation In Northern Burma: Local Critics

Ironically, relief efforts by the World Food Program under the United Nations have given a leg up to opium cultivation in Burma’s northern Kachin State, said local sources.
As of early 2008, the WFP has been distributing free rice to people in former civil war torn areas around Kachin State. However, the agency’s supply of rice has helped people to cultivate opium more easily, said local sources connected to opium fields.
Especially, in Sadung, also spelled Sadon areas and former New Democratic Army-Kachin (NDA-K) controlled areas in east Kachin State, bordering China’s Yunnan province, most villagers are using the agency’s rice as ration while cultivating opium, according to sources among them.
By using the free rice from the WFP, villagers cultivate opium privately. They also cultivate hundreds of acres of opium fields for other local and foreign Chinese businessmen as hired cultivators, added the sources.
A Kachin Baptist preacher in Myitkyina told KNG today, “People in Sadung areas can survive with the help of traditional hillside paddy cultivation without the WFP’s rice. The agency’s rice for development of people in former war torn areas has led to an increase in opium cultivation”.

KIA Bomb Injures Junta Mining Official

A mining official from Naypyitaw was accidentally injured in a bomb blast over a month ago from a Kachin Independence Army (KIA) planted explosive in the rebel’s restricted area near the gold mines in Burma’s Kachin State, said local sources.
The Burmese mining official belongs to the Burmese Ministry of Mines. He was injured on November 8 when he entered the KIA’s area for mapping for extending gold mining fields in Nam San Yang on the Myitkyina-Bhamo route near the KIA’s headquarters Laiza in Waingmaw Township. The explosion destroyed a bamboo grove and trees and the official was lucky to get off lightly, said local villagers.
The Naypyitaw mining official is yet to be identified but he was accompanied by other colleagues from the Ministry of Mines, Waingmaw Township Administrators, the Township policemen and the Township Land-Survey officers, said sources close to the group.
According to villagers of Nam San Yang, the Burmese mining official was injured in the bomb explosion because he ignored warnings by Nam San Yang villagers and KIA’s officials— not to enter the KIA’s restricted areas. Continue reading “KIA Bomb Injures Junta Mining Official”
