Art & Farming
Despite political and economic challenges, Myanmar’s modern art is gaining international recognition. Artists like Htein Lin, a former political prisoner, use their work to explore themes of resilience, human rights, and social change. Known for blending traditional techniques with contemporary issues, his art challenges cultural taboos and tells stories of struggle and hope.
K&L Museum will present Htein Lin’s Echoes of Strife series, presented also during the 2024 Gwangju Biennale and the 2025 Heritage of the Golden Land exhibition. Using mono-print techniques, these works connect Myanmar’s fight for freedom with universal themes of resistance and the transformative power of art.
