Event Flyer #GLAD2025 Global Coalition for Language Rights Theme Building Spaces That honor Language rights Feb 21st to 28th Global Language Advocacy Days! Art Exhibition A Myanmar Odyssey: 4 Years of Fight and Displacement January 28 @ 11:00 am - March 2 @ 7:00 pm The exhibition, featuring the work of Myanmar artist Shwe Wutt Hmon, is born out of solidarity with the people of Myanmar that has been fighting for democracy since the coup d’état led by General Min Aung Hlaing on 1 February 2021. Within a matter of days, youths and older people from all walks of life began to pour onto the streets in outrage and protest against the military. Since then, for almost four years now, the population has been demanding the restoration of democracy and the release of the imprisoned leaders and all other political prisoners in spite of the military’s use of lethal force. Amidst the failure of the international community to respond and take action, people are not giving up, continuing their support for the opposition National Unity Government (NUG) in exile. Many young people have taken up arms and joined the armed struggle as a last recourse against dictatorship, with many counting on the armed resistance by the People Defence Force and the Ethnic Armies gaining ground to eventually win the revolution.
