The 1st of February 2023 marks the second anniversary of military dictatorship in Myanmar. Since the coup, people have suffered under the repressive military rule in a collapsed state. They have experienced daily violation of rights, war crimes and crimes against humanity, murder, sexual violence, and torture. And despite it all, people have continued to fight for justice.  A nation-wide revolutionary project has started that cuts across diverse age, socio-economic and identity groups, including an assertion of the rights of those who have been left at the margins ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities. The message is the same: Never give up!

Honoring this spirit of creativity and resilience, the two-part art exhibitions “Never Give Up: 2 Years into the Myanmar Coup” gather artworks by Myanmar artists from Doh Hlay, a digital art platform and movement that inspires a conversation about rights and justice. This is the second part, following the first one at the end of January 2023. Curated by Lattapol Jirapathomsakul and Rosalia Sciortino, the exhibition reflects on the ongoing tyranny and its violent manifestations while stressing the centrality of human rights as well as their vision and hopes for a new just future for Myanmar.
