Lynn Nandar Htoo, a sound artist from Myanmar, will present her project together with fellow Southeast Asian artist Victoria Yam aka rEmPiT g0dDe$$. The performance will focus on the experiences of individuals displaced by the ongoing political turmoil in Myanmar and the harsh regulations faced by queer communities in Malaysia, giving voice to these struggles as a means of empowerment and healing. In »Resonant Resilience,« Htoo and Yam explore resilience as a response to socio-political inequities disproportionately affecting Southeast Asian female and queer communities. Integrating Htoo’s field recordings made in her home of Yangon, Myanmar, this fusion of natural soundscapes, classical analogue sounds, and digital elements will be enhanced by dynamic visual art created by the filmmaker Gabriel Htoo, highlighting the devastating impact of Myanmar’s political turmoil and the struggles of those caught in its path, and Sarah Hanan, who captures layers of repression, isolation, internalised shame, and enduring hope that mark the lives of queer identities in Southeast Asia.

The duo's performance will be followed by a concert from Nídia and Valentina.
