Mingalaba: A Journey Through the Myanmar Photo Archive invites audiences to engage with Myanmar through a vast, visual archive.
Mingalaba is a playful experiment that brings old images to new audiences. It presents the archive not as a dusty, forgotten storage space but as an active space for exploration. Audiences are invited to journey through Peninsula Shopping Centre, Excelsior Shopping Centre, and Peninsula Plaza, where they will encounter different collections of images from the Myanmar Photo Archive (MPA) embedded in the everyday spaces often frequented by the local Burmese community and photographers alike. Each intervention introduces Myanmar—its diverse cultural activities, histories, and multi-ethnic environments—to audiences through the eyes of many different photographers.
Venue: Across Peninsula Shopping Centre, Peninsula Plaza, Excelsior Shopping Centre
