In 2021, hundreds of thousands of Burmese migrant workers and refugees escaped to Thailand due to the coup and military suppression of ethnic minorities launched by the Myanmar army. The border originally accommodating Thais, ethnic Chinese, and various ethnic minorities was again affected by the cross-country migration after achieving balance among groups.
Raw Border is an ongoing series of works, focusing on the border between Thailand and Myanmar after 2021 by means of photovoice. In social science, photovoice is a participatory research method based on communities, examining and analyzing participant-taken photos and conversation records. The creator further lived with the participants, inviting them to take, select, post-produce, and edit photos together, endowing the participants with more power and subjectivity in the works. The project is still in progress.
Yang Chengyun works in art, social work and photography.
Born in Taipei, Taiwan, he graduated from the Graduate Institute of Social Policy and Social Work at National Chi Nan University. He previously worked as a social worker at the Taipei East District Youth Service Center and the Taiwan Le Mu Social Welfare Association, focusing on intimate partner violence and family relationships. He now works freelance on social work projects, architectural and interior photography, and photography education, while providing long-term support for international aid projects run by cross-border NGOs.
His work focuses on issues that he and the important people in his life face together. In recent years, he has explored international migration, multicultural conflict and integration, and the experience of cross-cultural marriage, primarily through photography and installation. Making art gives him and others a way to work through the challenges of everyday life together. It may change a situation, solve a problem, or simply offer mutual comfort without changing anything at all. Even when circumstances cannot be changed, his years of creative practice have shown him that art can at least give people renewed strength to face them.
