Yu Yu Myint Than on the Dynamics of Power: Camera, Conflict, Collaboration, and Creating Amid Censorship in Myanmar
Summary
Burmese photographer Yu Yu Myint Than talks to us about education before the Saffron Revolution, Burmanization, the conflict in Shan state, dynamics between ethnic minorities, between the camera and the captured, how artists in Myanmar deal with censorship, the ethical dilemmas she faced as a documentary photographer, transnational collaborations, and how the personal is political. Yu Yu Myint Than is Myanmar photographer based in Yangon. Previously a staff photographer at The Myanmar Times, she now focuses on personal photo documentaries. Yu Yu manages Myanmar Deitta, a non-profit organisation which develops resources for photographers and filmmakers in Myanmar, and is one of the founding members of Thuma women’s photography collective. A 2017 Magnum Fellow, Yu Yu has also won several international scholarships and exhibited her work across the globe. She is a published photographer and is keenly interested in photobook-making as another layer of story-telling besides taking photographs. She has been working on personal stories looking at memories as well as human-rights related issues. ယုယုမြင့်သန်းသည် ရန်ကုန်အခြေစိုက် မြန်မာဓါတ်ပုံဆရာမတစ်ဦးဖြစ်သည်။မြန်မာ တိုင်းမ်စ်သတင်းစာတိုုက်တွင် ဓါတ်ပုံဆရာအဖြစ် လုပ်ကိုင်ခဲ့ပြီးယခုုအခါတွင် သူမ ကိုယ်ပိုင်ပုဂ္ဂလိကဆိုင်ရာ မှတ်တမ်းဓါတ်ပုံစီးရီးများကို အာရုံစိုက်ရိုက်ကူးနေ ပြီးတစ်ဘက်တလမ်းမှလည်း အကျိုးအမြတ်မယူအဖွဲ့အစည်းတစ်ခု ဖြစ်သည့် မြန်မာဒိဌတွင် လုပ်ကိုင်လျက်ရှိပါသည်။ ထို့အပြင်သူမသည် မြန်မာအမျိုးသမီး ဓါတ်ပုုံဆရာများစုပေါင်းဖွဲ့စည်းထားသော သူမအဖွဲ့၏ထူထောင်သူများမှတစ်ဦး ဖြစ်သည်။ ယုယုသည် ဓါတ်ပုံပညာရပ်ဆိုင်ရပ် နိုင်ငံတကာပညာသင်ဆုများရရှိခဲ့ပီး ၂၀၁၇ ခုနှစ်တွင် Magnum Foundation မှစီစဉ်သည့် Photography and Scial Justice Programme ၏ Fellow အဖြစ် ရွေးချယ်တက်ရောက်ခွင့် ရခဲ့သည်။သူမလက်ရာများကိုနိုင်ငံတကာနှင့် မြန်မာနိုင်ငံတွင် ပြသခဲ့ပြီး နိုုင်ငံတကာအထင်ကရ ဓါတ်ပုံပွဲတော်များနှင့် နိုုင်ငံတကာ Photo Magazine များတွင် ရွေးချယ် ပြသခံရသည်။ယုုယုုသည်ဓါတ်ပုုံ ရိုုက်ကူးခြင်းအပြင် ဓါတ်ပုုံစာအုုပ်ဖန်တီးခြင်းကိုုလည်း အနုုပညာတစ်ခုအဖြစ် ကျင့်သုုံးလျက်ရှိသည်။ယုယုသည်အမှတ်တရများနှင့် ဆက်ဆိုင််သည့် ကိုယ်ပိုင်ဓါတ်ပုံဇာတ်လမ်းများ နှင့် လူ့အခွင့်အရေးဆိုင်ရာ မှတ်တမ်းဓါတ်ပုံဇာတ်လမ်းများကို ရိုက်ကူးလျက်ရှိသည်။ @yuyumt_burma Thuma Collective

Just listened to Yu Yu Myint Than's episode on Sugar Nutmeg - really interested in the discussion around Burmanization and its impact on Shan state; thanks for bringing this important topic to light!
Wow, I had no idea Yu Yu Myint Than was speaking out about Burmanization - that's a really interesting topic!
just listened to this ep and I'm still reeling from Yu Yu's insight on how education was co-opted by the military in Myanmar - anyone else think that's a huge missed opportunity for regime change?
Just listened to this ep on Myanmar & I'm still reeling from Yu Yu's insights on how photography can be a form of resistance under censorship - so much food for thought!
just listened to this ep on Yu Yu Myint Than and I'm so curious about how he navigated censorship as a photographer - such an interesting conversation!
I'm loving this episode! Yu Yu Myint Than's insights on Burmanization and its impact on education in Myanmar are so insightful - I had no idea how much it affects the country's identity.
