"I see two classes; the group that oppressed and those who are being oppressed. If we want to demolish Burmanization, even the Bama community must know that they are being oppressed by the system because the oppressors are using the ideology to divide between Bamas and other ethnic groups. I would really prefer the reconciliation between the oppressed class to fight against the oppressors."

"One time, I was interviewing a mother for an article, she couldn't stop crying for 30 minutes and I hold the phone with watery eyes, listening to her pain. People do want to share their stories, but it is emotionally challenging for them and we need to understand that. We write hoping that it will bring some changes. "

"If you look at the history of art, it was used for aesthetic reasons like drawing portraits and then gradually now, we use art as a medium to send messages for social, political issues that we want to highlight."
Yadanar Win is a multi-media artist that means a performance, video, and installation artist based in Yangon. Her unique ability to seamlessly join her own body, to the document of her performance, and bring them together into an art object is reflective of her generation’s willingness to experiment with all mediums and abandon the traditional painting and sculpture so common in Myanmar art scene. Her performances are passionate and critical, often citing the plight of Myanmar’s peace process or personal struggles as a young, female artist.
