Activism, art and depictions of brutality

New Mandala readers who focus their energies on contemporary life in Burma will want to see this report about an exhibition and conference being held in Canberra.  Showcasing art made by refugees living along the Thailand-Burma border, it seeks to highlight their plight and give greater exposure to their experiences.  It looks very worthwhile.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
