DESCRIPTION:Myanmar is historically diverse\, home to different kingdoms\,
  empires\, principalities\, chiefdoms and kinship networks that\, until in
 dependence from British colonial control in 1948\, had never been a single
  political entity. This talk explores Myanmar’s long histories through t
 he lens of cross-cultural interactions and the impact that these exchanges
  had upon art and material culture\, and in so doing is an exercise in how
  to address multiplicity and diversity\, and produce an integrative accoun
 t\, one that does not minoritise communities or promote the majority view.
