Moe Satt

Moe Satt is an internationally celebrated visual and performance artist from Yangon, Myanmar. Satt uses his body as a medium to explore identity, embodiment, and political resistance. Part of a generation of Burmese artists who worked to overcome government censorship and oppression, Satt actively engages with history through a conceptual artistic perspective. Often drawing from recent events in Burmese political history, Satt primarily investigates the period between 1983-2015, the year of his birth to when he began seriously practicing as a performance artist. In 2008, Satt founded and began organizing Beyond Pressure, an international festival of performance art, and the first ‘official’ contemporary art festival in the history of Burma. Satt has performed internationally across Europe, Asia, the United Kingdom, and North America.
