Photography exhibition UNEARTH, on display at Myanmar Deitta until December 19, showcases the work of six photographers, local and international, who spent two months documenting Myanmar’s diverse and highly lucrative extractive industries sector, from mining to pipelining.
“We followed stories throughout the country, including the illicit jade trade in northern Myanmar’s Kachin State, the aftermath of government crackdowns on protests against the controversial Letpadaung copper mine in Sagaing Region and the tapping of onshore oil reserves along the banks of the Irrawaddy River,” said director of Myanmar Deitta Matt Grace, whose work features in the exhibition.
The six stories featured in the exhibition, which comprises 30 photographs from across the country, were commissioned and supported by the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) with the aim of informing officials, industry professionals and the wider public about some of the issues faced in the extractive industries sector and the communities affected.
