'Share each other's stories': Man to show his own pieces, work from other Burmese artists
The Albert Lea Art Center in Minnesota will host an exhibit featuring the charcoal drawings of Saw Kennedy, a Burmese artist, alongside works by other artists from Burma. Kennedy, who fled Burma due to human rights issues and limited freedom of expression, lived in a Thai refugee camp before moving to the U.S. in 2008. The exhibit runs through July 10, with an artist reception on June 19. Some artists' names will remain anonymous to protect them from potential government retaliation in Burma.
