Italian Embassy hosts inaugural Cultural Heritage & Art Fair in Myanmar

THE first-ever cultural heritage and art fair in Myanmar, organ­ized by the Italian Embassy, was held from on 23 February 9 am to 9 pm at the Italian Embassy on Inya Myaing Road, Bahan Township.

 

The embassy collaborated with two local organizations — Doh Eain and Our Heritage Homes — to organize the event.

 

The Doh Eain organization participated in the exhibition as a panellist in a conversation titled ‘Sense of Place’ and also included a programme called ‘Downtown in Memories,’ which everyone in attendance could participate in throughout the event.

 

The ‘Sense of Place’ con­versation discussed how shared spaces in society impact and con­nect with both the environment and its residents. The ‘Downtown in Memories’ programme will ex­plore historical and heritage sites in Yangon, such as the Lokanat Building, book stalls along the roads, the Yatha Tea Shop, and the Post Office. — ASH/TH
