GNA Monthly Event feat. Brennan O'Connor | Photographs from Myanmar’s borderlands

Join us for a talk with photographer Brennan O'Connor, who will share images from his long-term photographic project in Myanmar's borderlands. He will also recount his experiences from being on the ground on-and-off in Myanmar for the past 13 years, including his latest trips to Myanmar's Karenni State in 2023. There, he documented the challenges faced by civilians enduring constant airstrikes launched by the military, all while receiving minimal assistance from international agencies.

Brennan O'Connor is a Canadian photographer. After a decade of freelancing for leading media outlets in his country, he devoted himself full-time to pursuing under-reported stories about Myanmar's diverse ethnic minorities in the country's borderlands near Thailand, China, India, and Bangladesh in 2010. During this period, he documented the struggles of these communities resisting Bamar (Burmese) rule both before and during the failed reform period—when nothing really changed—up until the aftermath of the 2021 military coup. His work has been published in various international media outlets and has garnered numerous accolades, including the prestigious Lucas Dolega Prize in France.

照片說明：一名男子用手保護住孩子的臉不受陽光曝曬。他們正準備登船，從緬甸南部的高當鎮(Kawthaung)前往泰國邊境城鎮拉廊府。長期的內戰加劇了緬甸國內的高失業率和低工資問題，迫使許多緬甸人民前往鄰近的泰國找尋工作機會。

Photo caption: A man shields a child's face from the sun as they prepare to board a boat that will take them from Kawthaung in southern Myanmar to the Thai border town Ranong. High unemployment and low wages, exacerbated by the long-running civil war, have driven many Myanmar nationals to seek work in nearby Thailand.
