On this episode, against the backdrop of Myanmar’s Civil Disobedience Movement that arose in the wake of the military junta's coup of 1 February 2021. I speak to acclaimed Burmese artist Moe Satt about his performance- and multimedia- based practice. We talk about the effect of censorship and restraints on civil liberties on the visual arts. We also discuss the way in which Myanmar's independent cultural organisations like AMCA, Generation Z and Boomers alike are splitting up across the virtual and actual domains and joining hands against the junta and, indeed, the importance of hands as symbols of solidarity in Moe's work, which we discuss in detail."
