After 60 years of isolation and suffering under the hands of the military, known as the Tatmadaw, Myanmar finally started experiencing a taste of freedom over the past decade. But this democratic transition was short lived. The February 1st coup brought violence and terror back to the core of Myanmar’s politics as the military launched a wave of attacks, arrests and arbitrary detentions of civilians and members of the government. Nearly 2,000 defenseless civilians have been massacred.

Despite the threats, protests continue to this day. Armed resistance has taken root in many parts of the country. A new generation of activists are fighting with art and digital technology,  while civil servants are crippling the junta administration with a nationwide civil disobedience movement.

The people are not giving up on democracy.
