Special Talk @ Kalm Village, Chiang Mai

The Museum Of Makers (MoM) at Kalm Village in Chiang Mai invited me to present my portfolio and research on Myanmar’s Southern Chin Women aand their facial tattoos on Saturday, August 19, 2023. The “Special Talk” was meant to add context to the Chin Textile Exhibition “Ki Tui -Ton” [“Together with Others”] that featured exquisit hand-woven textiles from different Chin groups in Myanmar., from the collection of YoYa May Chin textiles in Myanmar. Like the different pattern used in weaving, the symbolism used for facial tattooing by various Southern Chin groups convey a story of belonging, believe and ancestry.
