In Yangon tonight? Head over to Port Autonomy to see talks on beatboxing, language, self-defense and more

We’re excited about tonight’s series of short talks at Port Autonomy on Kabar Aye Pagoda Road.

The presentations, collectively part of the Rangoon Social Studies Club, will follow the Pecha Kucha format, which means 20 slides that appear for 20 seconds each.

And what a line-up!

The organizer has provided us with these short descriptions of each presentation. The learning starts at 8pm.

THE TOPICS

Evelyn Yu Yu Swe on women’s desire to live autonomously and without fear in Myanmar (and how she built a business off of it).

Khin CM Maung on gender identity in the context of being a woman in modern Myanmar.

Si Phyo Min Biz on the art of beatboxing and how he become a beatboxer in Myanmar.

Kirt Mausert on a history of the migrations of languages and people into modern Burma (his presentation uses the pre-1989 name of the country so we are sticking with it).

Jim Hayton on the role of SEZs in Myanmar’s industrial development.
